not from this ecosystem. came from years of shipping products, solving real problems, writing code that survives production. now channeling all of that into devvit.
reddit gave developers a platform. a real one. not a toy API with rate limits and prayers. an actual runtime, with storage, with UI primitives, with distribution to millions.
most people see that and think "cool, i'll make a poll." i see it and think about what communities are missing. what would make someone open a subreddit and feel something they didn't expect.
i'm not here to pad a portfolio. i'm here because reddit is one of the last places on the internet where communities still mean something. and devvit is how you make that even more true.
every app starts with a real problem a real community has. not a feature list. not a tech demo. a gap that, once filled, makes the subreddit feel alive in a way it wasn't before.
code that handles edge cases. state that doesn't corrupt. UIs that don't break on mobile. the boring stuff that separates a demo from something 50,000 people actually use daily.
get it in front of users fast. watch what they actually do. throw away assumptions. rebuild the parts that matter. repeat until it feels inevitable.
"reddit gave developers a platform. i'm going to make that bet worth it."
the entire point
every other platform optimized for content. reddit optimized for people talking to each other. that's rare. that's worth protecting.
devvit is how developers get to be part of that story. not as outsiders scraping an API, but as builders with first-class tools making first-class experiences.
that's why i'm here.
not just text and links. experiences that live inside the feed. games, tools, visualizations that make people stop scrolling and start participating.
the tools moderators wish they had. the automations that save hours. the small things that make running a subreddit feel less like a job.
the best devvit apps haven't been imagined. that's the point. the platform is young. the opportunity is now.
