  REDDIT SCOUT — Find Clients on Reddit Without Getting Banned
  
  Freelancers spend hours manually hunting Reddit for clients. Searching r/forhire, r/entrepreneur, r/webdev — only to find posts from months ago, or get shadowbanned for replying the wrong way.
  
  Reddit Scout fixes this.

  WHAT IT DOES
  ─────────────────────────────
  
  INSTANT LEAD DETECTION
  Scan any Reddit page with one click. Reddit Scout reads the posts you're already viewing and highlights any that match your keywords — "need designer", "hiring developer", "looking for freelancer", and 30+ more. No API needed. Zero latency.
  
  BAN PREVENTION ENGINE
  Every matched post gets a risk score: Safe, Caution, or Risk. High-risk subreddits are flagged automatically. Promotional language in titles is caught before you reply. Stay safe, stay active.
  
  RULE-SAFE REPLY TEMPLATES
  4 engagement strategies per lead — Value-First, Question-Based, Soft Social Proof, Genuine Help. Written to feel human, not spammy. Personalised by risk level. Copy and paste in seconds.
  
  LEAD TRACKER BUILT IN
  Save leads with one click. Track status from New → Contacted → Converted. Search, filter, and manage your prospect pipeline without leaving Chrome.
  
  CSV EXPORT (PRO)
  Export your full lead list — title, author, subreddit, URL, status, risk score, date — to a spreadsheet. One click.
  
  CUSTOM KEYWORDS
  Start with 30+ presets across design, development, copywriting, marketing, and VA services. Add your own. Synced across Chrome via storage.sync.

  v1.1.1 — Reliability fix
  
  Fixed an issue where the scanner would fail with a connection error on Reddit tabs 
  that were open before the extension was installed or updated. The scanner now 
  automatically injects itself into the active tab when needed, so Scan works 
  first time without requiring a page refresh.
