Atuan

Reddit data, starting the moment you ask for it.

Atuan does not dig through Reddit's archive. You name the subreddits you care about, and it records posts and comments from that point forward — timestamped, structured, and yours.

How it works

01

Build a watchlist

Subreddits, flairs, and whether you want posts, comments, or both.

02

Collect forward

Nothing is backfilled. The record starts when the watchlist goes live and grows from there.

03

Read it back

Browse what has been collected. How the data gets out of here is still an open question.

Where this is going

Honestly, I am not sure yet. Right now it is a collector and a watchlist, built in the open. Whether it turns into alerting, a dataset people query, or a research tool depends on who shows up and what they need. If you have a use case, that is the most useful thing you can send me.

Say something
Tell me what you would point this at, or that it is a bad idea. Both are useful.
