Reddit Post Comments Summarizer
Paste any Reddit post URL and get a witty, insightful TL;DR of the discussion — generated automatically from the comment thread.
Comments are loaded straight from Reddit's public post page, with automatic retries and a fallback to the Reddit Scraper Actor (solidcode/reddit-scraper) when Reddit is temporarily unavailable, so you get stable Reddit access without maintaining scrapers yourself.

Example output
One dataset item per run:
{
"postUrl": "https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1l4yrgp/claude_code_vs_cursor/",
"postTitle": "Claude Code vs Cursor — which one are you actually using daily?",
"subreddit": "r/ClaudeAI",
"commentsAnalyzed": 10,
"summary": "> TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 10 comments.\n\nThe thread is less a clean winner-take-all vote and more a workflow split: people who live in the terminal and want agentic multi-file edits lean hard toward Claude Code, while folks who want IDE-native refactors, inline diffs, and a familiar VS Code shell defend Cursor. Several top comments argue the comparison is unfair because the products optimize for different surfaces — CLI orchestration vs editor UX — and that “daily driver” really means “what’s open when I’m shipping.”\n\nCost and limits dominate the skeptical takes. Multiple users report burning through subscription tiers faster with heavy agent loops, and a recurring theme is picking the tool that matches how aggressively you delegate whole tasks vs. how often you still hand-edit. A smaller camp says they run both: Cursor for navigation and quick fixes, Claude Code for repo-wide changes and test runs.\n\nPractical advice that gets upvoted: try the same real task (bugfix + small feature) in each for a week, track latency to a correct PR, and ignore benchmark screenshots. The memorable quote energy is “stop treating them like the same product with different logos.” Overall consensus: neither is magic; team habits and repo size matter more than the brand on the splash screen.",
