Reddit digest bot

Inspiration

I just wanted to try something new with python

What it does

It just emails the users the top posts from the subreddits The user has to PM the email and the subreddits to a reddit account (badolaay) with semicolon ';' as delimiter For example: abc@mail.com;programming;askreddit

How I built it

I used reddit api for getting the reddit data and mailgun for sending emails

Challenges I ran into

First I thought of making subreddit and read the uses email from there. But this would expose the emails so I opted for PM

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I created something in less than 24 hours

What I learned

Using python, reddit api and sending emails

What's next for Reddit digest bot
