How did you do this? What tech stack do you use?
- rezashirazian 10y agoRuby on Rails for the backend, Angular on the front. It's hosted on Heroku, it uses cloudfront, S3 for storage, Postgres for DB along with httpClient and mechanize for crawling and Paperclip for image manipulation.
- ksashikumar 10y agoDo you use any kinda algorithm for crawling/fetching content from reddit?
- rezashirazian 10y agoNot particularly. The one thing that helps but most people don't know about reddit is the fact that adding a .json to the end of each url displays the content of that page in json format. for example: reddit.com/r/funny.json This make crawling/fetching content from reddit much more trivial than old school web crawling.
