Reddit Summarizer

Reddit Summarizer

Summarize long Reddit threads with one click

310 followers

Some long reddit threads are a gold mine. But you need to dig deep in hundreds or thousands of comments to form the conclusion. To simplify that I automated it all in form of chrome extension with customization to fit your own needs. With one click it: - fetches metadata (with all comments) - cleans it - sends it to selected AI - gold, you are looking for Supported pages: - Threads - Subreddits - Search results

@martin_machava nice product, niche but useful

Alex Cloudstar

Nice. Could save me in AITA rabbit holes on the bus. I usually skim 1–2k comments hunting for the update and the one smart reply. Do your summaries keep links to the key comments so I can jump back? Also curious how you handle token limits on huge threads.

Martin Machava

@alexcloudstar I clear json metadata and keep only relevant fields for AI to process.

Summarization results can be seen in History section but History is visible only in that specific site. If you like the summary, you can save it and it will always be visible in Save section.

I wonder what are your reddit use-cases. You might be able to automate that by creating your own custom Mode so it's always just one click away.

Hey Martin, what was the moment Reddit’s endless threads finally broke you? Like was there a specific post where you scrolled forever just to find the actual answer buried somewhere?
Martin Machava

@vouchy Hi Vouchy, funny you ask, I know the exact moment when the threshold was reached. It was when my friend sent me this link to "Your Top 2 Moonshot Stocks for the Next 3–5 Years?" with just over 1k comments.

At that point I started building this extension. And it works very well for huge reddit threads like this one. It might have been impossible to process it all on my own.

Great idea and execution! I really appreciate that you built this as a plugin — scraping Reddit in a structured way while avoiding IP blocks and tracking is no small feat. I’ve worked on a similar Chrome extension for Facebook before, and I can say the scraping and control part is tricky, but not the hardest. The real challenge is handling dynamic content — especially on sites where comments, reactions, and user relationships are loaded dynamically with ever-changing IDs. Trying to map that back into a clean, readable UI while preserving who said what, when, and how they’re connected… that’s where things get really hard. You’ve nailed a tough problem here. Awesome work! 👏

@chi_hung_wong I was also doing something similar for X (tweeter) and it was also quite difficult. Facebook must be even harder level than that.

With Reddit I was really lucky, the implementation was much much easier than on X or Facebook thanks to open json endpoints to fetch metadata.

@martin_machava Great point, and I agree completely. While businesses would buy official APIs for core data, the magic happens in the layer you're describing—making that data sync and feel live immediately. The browser/rendering level is a huge opportunity. The real value isn't just in getting the data, but in what you do with it next. As we see with tools like Cursor's MCP, the future is in tight integration: letting AI not just summarize data scraped from a page, but also act on it, analyze it, or help you build with it directly. That's the interesting next step.

Saves me lots of time crawling through pile of trashy comments on reddit. I wish this would work for other forum type websites as well.

Martin Machava

@marek_machava exactly, that was my point while building this extension. Most comments on reddit are low value and only few have what I'm looking for.

What other forums would you like to see similar tools on? If this one gets enough tractions and I see it helps people and they want it, I might expand to other areas/forums.

Marek Machava

@martin_machava For example forums based on most common types like XenForo, phpBB, MyBB or WordPress. Som forums are shitty built like continuous loading when scrolling and cannot use classic search bar except built in search.

Hey Martin @martin_machava ,


Congrats on launching Reddit Summarizer! It seems like a real time-saver, especially with those huge Reddit threads.


Just curious, how’s the response been so far? What kind of marketing strategies are you focusing on to get the word out? Would love to hear how you're planning to promote the product!

Martin Machava

@mfarhan1107 response is ignore or positive. I don't have huge follower base, neither am good at marketing. As true builder in public, I'm just sharing my journey and PH launch is great day for me. Having 3rd place in Day rank is much more than I could wish for. Growth has been mostly organic.

I don't have much plans, I'm newbie at marketing. If you have any tips for me, I'd love to hear them.

Wow man! Super specific inside Reddit. It shows that network is growing like no other. All the best on that team!
Martin Machava

@german_merlo1 I added Toolbar with quick action buttons to eliminate clicks to get the result. Extension Popup is still there with more functionality but most basic functions are accessible in Toolbar to save time. And it's looking pretty good, I have to say :D
