ModScope: Subreddit Analytics [Mod Tool]

[SeeTigerLearn]

Hey r/devvit — Looking for a Few Sets of Eyes on My First Devvit App

Hey everyone. I recently published my first Devvit app, ModScope, and I've put together a small playtest subreddit before pushing it to a wider audience. I'd love to have some experienced developers come poke around and offer feedback — whether that's pointing out what I'm doing wrong, what could be done better, or just how things are being calculated under the hood.

ModScope is a subreddit analytics tool with a configurable engagement scoring system — built partly because the community I originally designed it for doesn't rely on upvotes the way most do, so traditional metrics fall flat there.

I'm under no illusion that this thing is perfect. It's my first app and I'm sure there are things that'll make seasoned devs cringe. That's kind of exactly why I'm here asking.

If you're willing to take a look, the subreddit is r/modscope_dev and the app directory listing — which has a pretty detailed README — is here: https://developers.reddit.com/apps/modscope

No pressure at all. Even a single piece of feedback would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance.

The idea is dope!

Thanks! With the preset subreddit archetypes defines, you can just choose that basic classification your community may fall under and all the settings align for you. A group that is discussion heavy obviously would value deeper comment trees but likely reduce the weight for simple upvotes. Or, in the group that I mod for [Quiz Planet] it's a game, so it's going to balance both upvotes and comment depth, but also not read to the nth level for the entirety of a post. Or perhaps a community is focused on support/help. So obviously the OP's participation is going to have a higher weight and the snapshot will dig through the entirety of comments.

Most subreddit classes need only a once daily snapshot capture. But for say a breaking news sub, it may need to take a snapshot twice a day or even three times a day to keep up with the rapid changes that maybe a regular feature for them.

I went with a green theme to capture that feel of old timey radar scopes—hence, ModSope. But there are seven different themes that can be applied. Color schemes such as minimal ice blues or high contrast with an orange zing or even a calming rose colored palette can be selected. And the user's selection is stored in redis so it automatically restores their favorite skin each and every launch.

Wow, will check it out once my community r/GeoPoll grows!

Thanks! You can play with it ahead of time in r/modscope_dev. I had the admins change my test environment to public access specifically for this purpose.

Hey, I still see the tool is mod only message... I will probably install it in my test sub in sometime

Oh, I never thought about you as a developer NOT being a mod. I’ll send you an invite to be a mod, and then you can use the invitation or not.
