I Created a Bot That Makes Reddit Videos

I built a bot that makes Short Form Reddit videos. I open-sourced the code and it went VIRAL across all social platforms and was on GitHub trending for the last couple of weeks. In this video, I share the code as well as explain what I have learned from the entire process. This project is still ongoing so keep updated in the links below!

A year and a half later! Thanks so much everyone for watching and using this! An update:

The Reddit API changes has introduced a ton of breaking changes. Despite the popularity of this application, all the people that work on this are all volunteers in the open source ecosystem. Ideally, this project was supposed to just die out when it did but is still exploding in popularity. Please be patient and considerate when reporting bugs, fixes and changes in the application :)

This video took a long time to make so I hope everyone enjoys :)

Never has a channel motivated me so much to start coding again. The world is truly yours if you know how to code

[hewhoeatscheese]

Dear Lewis, you unleashed evil on to the world.

Also, this is impressive af.

[thierrydebelder]

Wow you opened my eyes for what you can do when you can code, the sky is the limit. I'm glad I found you channel, you really motivate people to start coding. Keep up the good work Lewis. I joined your Discord because you have a good vibe.

I saw your youtube short of this bot.. still amazed at how you came up with such an amazing idea. Good job man.

[fabianarevalo]

I have been learning python for the last few months and this is a great example to see how it used in the real world.

[dezdoesstuff]

This is a really cool bot! But I think you should add a feature that picks out random lofi music and adds it to the mix.

[hexada]

Wow! This is so amazing. You are truly inspiring. Thx for the great content bro

[premiumifyme]

Fun project- Great to see you promoting open source!

[riddhishakya]

That totally amazing how you automate the process .

A small request can you make a in depth video about it . That would be great

[isaihernandez]

Awesome project dude. Thanks for doing it!

[greencastle]

The quality of your work is amazing Lewis !
👍👍😀

[nomad.]

The production quality on this is insane... I also like the longer explanation.

[CreativeTutorialsWeb]

Your content has always been amazing since I've subbed to you.

[bullymaguire]

Awesome! People truly underestimate what a little pit of programming can do! Would love a tutorial on complete installation and running of the bot

[DevOpsJimz]

This is dope! Really love the concept and encouragement you give! Thank you for this.

[krishp]

Started watching you a few months ago and the quality of your content is amazing. Wanna contribute to the project but it seems like it's mostly finished 😪

[Versole]

This video is really unique compare to other programming related videos.

Here is how I understand it, you talked about the Inspiration, then you coded up the app, explain the code behind it very clearly, concisely, and with animation, made it open source, talked about the negatives and shared the positives of it, all while keeping the video engaging, short, and simple. Thank you very much!

This is what you call a master piece.

Your YouTube channel is the best one out there.
