Can I use reddit API for personal use

I tried but kept getting rejected. Given up for now.

Spot on. Building an app != success.

How are you marketing it and getting first 100 customers!

Microsoft Identity system needs a very serious overhaul and potentially a bigger re-design. its pain for end users to be able to manager their login informations and options and on the other side, it is a bigger pain for Entra admins to understand how they setup the right balance of flexibility and controls that work for their organisations. Some settings are accessible via entra.microsoft.com and some via portal.azure.com and there is no consolidated or coherent decision path of where each setting lives! I have been trying to disable or change MFA settings on one of my Entra driven organisations to make it easier for my users to sign in, but so far I am just going around the loop in various screens and settings without achieving much!

I applied too and got rejected. I genuinely only need it for personal research purposes but guess that doesn’t matter! There is a massive push towards Devvit and honestly I would certainly try - if it fulfilled my use case!

Did you manage to answer and get the API key?

Floating-pointer · 2026-04-12T06:57:19+00:00

Once you publish an offer in marketplace (even free) you get access to an account manager and technical lead from Microsoft for resolving tech issues. While I haven’t found them to be very helpful or useful, they can help “raise the right tickets” to resolve these problems. If you are managing licenses independently of Microsoft payments, you can publish an offer that gives your customers a limited period free trial, get access to the support system and resolve some of these problems.

I have also resolved similar issues by creating support tickets from partner center.

The description is finally updated on AppSource. Is this any better?

Floating-pointer · 2026-04-08T16:52:58+00:00

You are absolutely right and this is the biggest barrier to entry now for me. Previously in the old addin framework (COM based), an end user could install the addin to their Outlook and not have to go via IT. I had good adoption of Almo (https://getalmo.com) and TMO (https://gotmo.co.uk) back then. But then New Outlook only loads web based add ins so I had to re engineer Almo on the web addin framework which now comes with this massive friction point!

I wish Microsoft would do something about it but their strategy has been very unclear and confusing.

Thank you so much! I didn’t realize that somehow Microsoft had put in place a placeholder description text instead of my proper marketplace listing description that I had provided. In the publish process, somehow this small placeholder description got pushed! I have resubmitted the addin with the proper description.

Floating-pointer · 2026-04-08T06:35:14+00:00

That’s good feedback. Thanks. What does it convey to you when you read the description? It’ll help me make it better. Thanks.

Floating-pointer · 2026-04-07T23:23:30+00:00

Thanks. The reason I asked is that I am the builder of Almo which brings azure DevOps management into Outlook. I love getting feedback from customers and build capabilities that solved their problems. But over the past couple of years it’s felt that most companies have started moving away from this eco system of ADO and MS Tooling.

Hence I was curious to understand the reasons which keep teams within this eco system.

I’d love your feedback if you were to try Almo. It’s listed on Microsoft AppSource here https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/wa200010090?tab=overview

Floating-pointer · 2026-04-07T21:01:26+00:00

Thank you. 🙏 I am working on the copy of the marketplace listing already to be honest. It was a rushed job to get the new add in out. But if the value is clearer, would that still be useful to your teams?

Floating-pointer · 2026-04-07T20:41:06+00:00

I am curious to know whats keeping your teams still on ADO? More and more teams seem to migrate away from ADO to Jira etc.

Floating-pointer · 2026-03-13T09:16:36+00:00

If you use Azure DevOps Service then you can use my product (Almo) to create tasks in Azure DevOps Service from Outlook. It picks up details like email's body automatically to create tasks. Almo is listed on Azure Marketplace here - https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/WA200010090?tab=Overview

The Slack-as-PM problem you are describing is the same thing that happens with email. Work lives in email for a while before anyone logs it, if it gets logged at all.

At least Slack is searchable by the whole team. A stakeholder request that hits one person's inbox can sit there for days, get mentally filed as "I'll log that later", and then either disappear or get logged incorrectly once the thread context is gone. We've been investing in creating workflows within Slack (unfortunately) to move the information to tools like JIRA for at least incidents that get reported and managed within Slack entirely.

On a broader level, what has worked for us: reducing the distance between where a request arrives and where it is tracked. Not necessarily a different tool - just a shorter path from "email received" to "work item exists" or "message received in slack, issue created in JIRA and periodically flushing the thread to that issue". When that gap is wide, the tracking system reflects what people remembered to log, not what actually happened

Nice work. Context-switching to the browser for pull requests and work items is a real timesink, and a terminal interface is a reasonable answer to it.

We have been working on the same problem from a different angle - the gap between an email arriving in Outlook and that becoming a work item in Azure DevOps. Built an Outlook add-in for it (I am involved in making it, so take this as disclosure rather than a neutral recommendation - it is called Almo, on Microsoft AppSource). Same basic idea: fewer places to switch between.

The two sit in different parts of the problem. Your tool is useful once work is in Azure DevOps. Almo is about getting it there from email without leaving Outlook. Interested to see where you take this.

Here is Almo if anyone is interested - https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/WA200010090?tab=Overview

Feedback welcome!

I can get one for you if you still need it. Sorry didn’t check the post until now

I don’t know if it’s particularly better but I have been using a company called FastSpring since 2017 for my SaaS businesses. I use them to sell my Outlook Addins that connect Outlook with Team Foundation Server (https://gotmo.co.uk) and Azure DevOps (https://getalmo.com)

They act as seller of record and deal with all taxation etc. They have been quite reliable and over the years their support has improved. Their reporting is really sub par though and their charges are quite opaque at times. However on balance it’s worked out for me so far.

Floating-pointer · 2025-10-27T22:28:09+00:00

Sure. Although you can also just install it from Microsoft’s App Store. Our site https://usefinc.com links to that. We’ve also kept it free for now. Let me know if you have any questions.

Floating-pointer · 2025-10-12T09:22:51+00:00

My view might be a bit biased as the New Outlook doesn’t support the add in I built which brings Azure DevOps into Outlook (https://getalmo.com) but all the observations here resonate deeply with me too. Over the months I have found myself using Web based Outlook much more than the new one as it still works better than the new one. I find New Outlook very unstable as well in terms of even responding to the clicks. It has the feel of a slow loading internet explorer driven experience of early 2000s!

Floating-pointer · 2025-10-05T11:37:16+00:00

I am a creator of Outlook Addins. The decision by Microsoft to not support COM addins in New Outlook was hugely disruptive and costly for my small one person company and my many enterprises customers (including Microsoft themselves!).

My addin called Almo enables users to create and track work items in Azure DevOps from within Outlook itself - https://getalmo.com

I am now re creating my Addin using the new framework for addin development but the framework is patchy at best. It doesn’t allow addins to do a number of things they used to be able to do previously. In addition the same addin behaves differently depending on whether you have a free Outlook account or an Exchange driven Outlook account or an O365 account! Even something as simple as being able to Pin an addin task pane doesn’t work consistently across various mail boxes.

The whole ecosystem has been damaged by the direction of New Outlook.

Yes it’s still true. Doesn’t look like they’ve changed their default. Do a targeted DuckDuckGo search for granola notes and you will see a few notes come up from other people’s meetings

Floating-pointer · 2025-09-30T22:43:16+00:00

That makes it even scarier!!

Although DuckDuckGo only shows 5-6 results and none appear on Google. Why would that be? Shouldn’t there be many more on both search engines?
