README

Find real pain points on Reddit. Draft replies that actually get upvoted.

A tiny CLI + [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) skill that turns Reddit into a market research engine. Ask five questions, get a pain-points report with draft replies you can post.

Built for founders, indie hackers, and marketers who want to find real customers instead of shouting into the void.

What it does

You answer five questions about your product, audience, and tone.
redditlens searches Reddit via Google (Serper API) for pain language — not brand names.
It enriches every match via Reddit's public .json endpoint to pull scores and top comments.
Your agent clusters the pain points and drafts replies that lead with empathy and value.

No scraping tricks. No Reddit API keys. No database. One dependency (`undici`). MIT licensed.

Install

npm install -g redditlens

Or run without installing:

npx redditlens search "notion alternatives" --period month --comments

Requirements

Node.js 18+
A Serper API key (free, see below)

Get a free Serper API key

Serper is a thin wrapper over Google search. The free plan gives you **2500 queries** with no credit card. More than enough to run redditlens for weeks.

Go to serper.dev
Sign up with Google or email
Copy your API key from the dashboard
Export it:

export SERPER_API_KEY=your_key_here

Add it to your shell profile (`~/.zshrc`, `~/.bashrc`) to persist it.
