  ModQueue Triage — priority-based mod queue tool built on Reddit Devvit

Inspiration

Inspiration

Reddit mod queues have no built-in priority system. Mods scroll through a flat list with no way to tell what needs urgent attention versus what can wait. I wanted to fix that.

What it does

ModQueue Triage lets moderators assign priority labels — Low, Medium, or Urgent — to reported items directly inside Reddit. A color-coded system (green, yellow, red) makes critical reports stand out instantly. A summary bar tracks pending counts per priority tier, and mods mark items as reviewed to track progress through the queue.

How I built it

Built using Reddit's Devvit Bare template with TypeScript. The entire UI runs as a vanilla TypeScript DOM app inside a Devvit webview — no external dependencies, no backend required for the MVP.

Challenges I faced

Working with the Devvit Bare template as a beginner was a learning curve. Understanding which imports were available, avoiding breaking changes, and keeping the app stable on a hotspot connection with frequent network drops were the main hurdles.

What I learned

How to build and deploy a Devvit app end-to-end — from template setup, to playtest, to deployment and launch submission.

Accomplishments

Built and deployed a fully functional Devvit app end-to-end as a complete beginner. The priority cycling system with live color feedback works seamlessly inside Reddit with zero external dependencies.

What's next for ModQueue Triage

Real mod queue API integration, bulk priority actions, filtering by report type, and persistence using Redis so priority labels survive page refreshes.
