Hi GermainZ,
I'm Stephen, CS student at Kennesaw State. My teammate Vinh and I are entering Reddit's Mod Tools and Migrated Apps Hackathon (April 29–May 27, 2026, $10K grand prize for best port). Filing here as a backup to a Reddit DM.
Quick context in case you're not actively tracking Reddit's dev platform anymore: Reddit launched Devvit as the official successor to the Data API. It runs serverless TypeScript apps that install per-subreddit — no more Heroku hosting, no rate-limit gymnastics, mods install with one click. Reddit's running the App Migration Program ($1,000 paid to bot owner per migrated bot, runs through Dec 31, 2026) plus this hackathon to accelerate the transition.
Why Taskerbot fits: the original architecture maps cleanly to Devvit's runtime:
- YAML wiki-page config → same parser logic in TypeScript, stored in per-subreddit Redis
- Comment/report streams (
!rule1, etc.) → Devvit onCommentSubmit / onModAction triggers
- Removal reason lookup + flair updates → native Devvit Reddit API
!refresh Subreddit mod commands → Devvit menu actions- Heroku hosting requirement → fully eliminated, Reddit runs it
What you'd retain: full ownership of this repo, $1K App Migration Program bounty paid directly to you, original-author credit on the Devvit App Directory listing, and either contribute the port back here under your org or we keep it under ours with attribution — your call.
What we'd need: written permission. A reply on this issue or a Reddit DM works ("yes, you have permission to port Taskerbot for the hackathon").
