Summary

Isaac Moldofsky, a 16-year-old teenager, built a Reddit parser app called "THOr" using Python and Twilio SMS. The app allows users to browse Reddit headlines easily on their smartphones or feature phones by texting specific commands, such as the name of a subreddit followed by the number of results to display. Isaac's app uses Flask/Heroku and PRAW (Reddit) frameworks, and it has gained attention from Reddit General Manager Erik Martin, who tweeted about the hack. The app is available for download on Isaac's website, isaacmoldofsky.com.
