Instant Karma! Reddit's New Real-Time Karma Tracking App
RedditAddict Lite is a new desktop application run on Adobe Air, that allows you to track both your regular Reddit karma and your comment karma in real-time. Both are displayed on a graph with different color lines, and you can set the data points to tone your graph. It also easily allows you to take a screengrab of your graph for those moments when your karma is peaking.
Also included in the app in a small dashboard widget that shows your karma stats, as well as if you have any Reddit mail messages pending. It also allows you to set a series of quirky sounds that are triggered based on movement of your graph.
Kind of silly? Yes. Kind of pointless? Maybe, but if you’re a RedditAddict like the name implies, something like this should be right up your alley.
Bigger picture: This is the second Reddit application (after the Firefox plug-in Socialite) that promises 75% of any donations made off of the landing page to the developer of the app. (Reddit contracts these apps out to third-party developers.) While the app itself is free to download and use, the Reddit apps page features a large “Support the developer” button, where users are encouraged to leave tips if they enjoy the app.
