💡 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
