Christopher Gurnee be7064124f Respect Reddit API limits
With Pushshift's increase in the maximum request size from 100 to 250
comments, this also increases the Reddit request rate by 2.5x. This
makes it possible to overrun the API limits, so start tracking and
respecting them. Also switch back to logging into Reddit to increase
these limits.

Unddit

Unddit is a site for undoing the removal of comments for Reddit. Just go to any Reddit post and replace the re of reddit in the URL with un to see all removed comments.

This is a done by comparing the comments being stored in Jason Baumgartner's Pushshift Reddit API and the ones from Reddit's API. The frontend, developed by Jesper Wrang and originally available at removeddit.com, is written in React and uses Sass as the CSS Preprocessor.

Development

Download Unddit:

git clone https://github.com/gurnec/removeddit.git

Download npm, or update your existing npm to the latest version:

mkdir npm && cd npm
npm --no-package-lock install npm
mv node_modules ../removeddit/ && cd ../removeddit && rmdir ../npm
alias npm="$(pwd)/node_modules/.bin/npm"

Build the Javascript files and launch a local server for development:

npm install
npm start

Visit http://localhost:8080 and make sure the site is running. If you're getting connection errors to Reddit or Pushshift, it might be because you're running a VPN. Try turning it off for development.

The CSS is built separately (to keep the build steps / configs very simple) by running:

npm run css
