💡 Inspiration
Reddit moderators manage thousands of posts daily with limited tools. After the 2023 API changes broke many mod tools, communities struggled. I built ModMind to give moderators an AI-powered suite to analyze posts, detect toxicity, and take faster moderation decisions.
🛠️ What it does
ModMind is an AI-powered Reddit moderation dashboard that:
- Fetches posts from any subreddit in real-time
- Analyzes content using Gemini AI for sentiment and toxicity scoring
- Suggests mod actions — approve, remove, flag, or monitor
- Shows subreddit statistics — subscribers, active users, engagement metrics
- Sorts posts by hot, new, top, or rising
🔨 How I built it
- Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS deployed on Vercel
- Backend: Python FastAPI deployed on Render
- AI: Google Gemini API for content analysis
- Data: Reddit's public JSON API (no auth required)
🚧 Challenges I faced
- Reddit's API rate limiting required careful request management
- Getting Gemini AI to return consistent JSON for mod suggestions
- Deploying a full-stack app across multiple free tier services
📚 What I learned
- How to build production-ready AI moderation tools
- Integrating multiple cloud services for a scalable architecture
- The importance of Reddit's mod tools ecosystem
