Why I Built Readdit Later: From Daily Frustration to Chrome Extension

7 months of saving Reddit posts with nowhere to find them. Here's how a personal pain point turned into a two-day build that changed how I use Reddit.

The Problem That Frustrated Me Daily

If you're a Reddit user, you've probably done this: seen an amazing tutorial, an inspiring personal story, or a useful product launch post, hit that save button, and thought "I'll definitely come back to this later."

For the past 7 months, I'd been saving everything — coding tutorials, startup launches, personal stories that inspired me.

The Two-Day Build That Changed Everything

I spent a weekend building Readdit Later — a Chrome extension that gives your saved Reddit posts a proper home.

What it does

• Search your saved posts by keyword
• Filter by subreddit, date, or custom tags
• Track which posts you've actually read
• Export your saves to Notion, CSV, or plain text

The best tools are the ones you build because you need them yourself.

If you're a frequent Reddit saver, give it a try. I'd love to hear what you think.
