Thanks for the kind words. Could you elaborate on what you mean with integrating with RES, sounds very interesting

I'm not sure who to contact about it, but I think the RES team might be interested in implementing a subreddit preview feature (kind of like their media/wiki preview) that users can customize.

For example, when somebody includes a link to a subreddit in their post/comment, RES might add a button next to it that could be pressed to open a preview panel with customizable info about the sub, like:

• Top posts of [all time / last month]
• Current hottest posts
• Subscriber count
• Age of the sub
• Average age of top 25 posts (a sign of when the sub "peaked")

The advantages are that this would be personally customizable and less obtrusive - the disadvantage is that it would only be available to RES users. I don't know what proportion of Reddit uses RES.

I'm not an expert on coding or anything, but I think it would be pretty easy to inject something like that into HTML and make your own Chrome extension, separate from RES, if you wanted.

Hope that helps!
