Reddit analytics

Displays a heatmap of posts submitted to a given subreddit along with a list of posts made each hour. Uses pushshift's api to gather data from Reddit and currently takes about 3 to 5 mintues to complete a request in order to reliably avoid exceeding the API's rate limit. The API's rate limit is not something I control, sadly, and until I am able to create my own Reddit scraper, the load time is subject to whatever rate limit pushshift decides to implement.

Built with React.

Check out the demo.

And users can still access hourly post lists:
