Karmacrawl — Reddit Research with Verified Quotes

About

Karmacrawl is the Reddit research extension built like a notebook, not a scraper.

WHAT IT DOES
─────────────────────────────────

📋 Save any Reddit thread as a Markdown research notebook
Paste straight into Notion, Obsidian, Roam, or any markdown editor. Every comment is formatted as a verbatim quote with the author, score, timestamp, and a one-click link back to the source.

📚 Capture subreddit digests
Pull the top, hot, or new posts from any subreddit into a clean Markdown digest. Pick how many posts (10/25/50/100).

🔄 Since-last-visit diffs (no other Reddit tool does this)
Re-extract a thread you've seen before? Karmacrawl shows you what changed since your last capture — new top-level comments, score deltas, total comment delta. Perfect for following active discussions.

🔗 Bulk link extraction
Every URL mentioned in a thread, deduplicated by domain, with mention counts. Open the ones you care about in one click.

🔎 AI Discovery mode (optional, BYO Anthropic key)
"Find me what people say about cast iron skillet brands across Reddit"
→ Karmacrawl auto-discovers relevant subreddits, harvests comments, and extracts verified verbatim quotes that actually match your query. Every quote links to its real Reddit comment. AI never fabricates.

💎 Anti-fabrication discipline
Karmacrawl's anti-hallucination layer is the moat. Quotes must appear verbatim in the source comment — fabrications are auto-dropped before they reach you. Per-quote confidence scores. Empty results stay empty (never invented). Spot-check button highlights 5 random quotes for verification.

🌐 Web supplement (optional)
Search beyond Reddit. Karmacrawl pulls supplementary verified quotes from blogs, Hacker News, niche forums — using Jina Reader (free) and your Anthropic key.

📊 Decision matrices for comparison queries
Asked "X vs Y" or "best X"? Karmacrawl builds a comparison table — options × criteria, with a Reddit permalink verifying each cell.

WHY KARMACRAWL
─────────────────────────────────

Built on lessons from a Claude Code skill pack: scraping discipline, anti-hallucination patterns, and cost-optimization techniques baked in. Most other Reddit tools either:
• Give you flat CSV dumps you have to manually clean up
• Use AI but silently hallucinate when sources are thin
• Charge you per-credit with opaque, surprise billing

Karmacrawl:
• Exports as research-grade Markdown straight into Notion/Obsidian
• Verifies every AI-extracted quote against the source comment (drops fakes)
• Shows estimated cost upfront, tracks actual spend per query
• No subscriptions, no credit packs, no billing surprises

WHO IT'S FOR
─────────────────────────────────

• Researchers harvesting Reddit discussions for qualitative analysis
• Marketers monitoring brand mentions and sentiment
• Founders doing customer-discovery on Reddit
• Writers / journalists building stories from real online discussions
• Indie operators making decisions backed by what real people say
