Hey HN! Built this after Reddit's API changes made most tools unusable.
The problem: Getting API approval now takes weeks or never happens.
The solution: Desktop app that works without API approval. Data stays local, completely private.
Main features: - Search and analyze subreddits - Bulk extract posts/comments/user data - AI-powered insights - CSV export
Built primarily for marketers and researchers. Free tier gives 90 searches/day.
Would love feedback on the approach - especially from anyone who's dealt with Reddit's API changes!

Interesting. What I would really like a travel planner that actually helps me decide where to travel depending on my situation, family/friends, preferences, budget etc. Then, show me options. Your solution seems like a fit if you already know where to go.
I'm thinking of adding a travel planner to my site https://parklookup.com
What it does: Enter a city + your travel style (budget backpacker, luxury, foodie, etc.) → get a personalized PDF guide in ~15 minutes. Not generic "Top 10" lists—actual itineraries with opening hours, transport tips, and recommendations that match YOUR preferences.
Why Perplexity over GPT/Claude: Perplexity's Deep Research API was the game-changer. It actually cites real sources and pulls fresh data. GPT-4 kept giving me outdated restaurant recommendations from 2021. Perplexity searches, synthesizes, and cites—perfect for travel where accuracy matters.
