How it works

  • Two back-ends, one stream. src/lib/archive.js queries two public Reddit archives in parallel straight from the browser (both send CORS headers, so there is no server hop and lookups feel instant), takes the union keyed by id so nothing shows twice, and sorts newest first. One delayed retry, only for transient failures. Full parameter set: subreddit, date range, keyword, NSFW, removed or deleted only. Cursor pagination on created_utc.
  • Shareable URLs. Every click (tab, filter, insights view, the account name itself) is written into the query string, so any view can be linked, bookmarked and reopened exactly as it was. The account name is always the last parameter.
  • Interactive insights. src/lib/insight.js reads whatever page is loaded and Insights.svelte pages through Overview, Timing, Communities, Content and Language sections, with an All / Posts / Comments scope toggle and clickable subreddit bars that push a filter into the feed. Synchronous, so it never delays results.
  • UI. Local shadcn-style components in src/lib/components/ui/ on Tailwind v4 tokens. Cards, buttons, inputs, badges, segmented controls.

Public archive content only. Keep request volume reasonable. Accounts listed in WITHHELD (src/lib/archive.js, empty by default) resolve to no results with no request sent.
