MeltiMeter

Tech Stack

We built MeltiMeter for Reddit using Devvit, with a setup that kept things fast and manageable.

Frontend

• React – for building the UI
• TypeScript – to keep things organized and catch bugs early
• Vite – for fast development and hot reloads
• Tailwind CSS – for quick and consistent styling
• @devvit/client – to handle Reddit-specific interactions

Backend

• Node.js – runs our backend logic
• Express.js – to set up API routes
• TypeScript – same as frontend, for consistency
• @devvit/server – integrates our logic with Reddit
• @devvit/redis – handles simple data storage

Devvit Integration

• @devvit/public-api – defines how our app shows up in Reddit
• @devvit/server – configures and connects everything behind the scenes

Shared Code

• TypeScript interfaces – shared between frontend and backend to keep data consistent

Developer Tools

• ESLint – to catch issues early
• Prettier – to keep our code formatting clean
• concurrently – to run everything at once while developing

It’s a pretty standard modern web setup, with a few Reddit-specific tools to make everything work smoothly inside the platform.
