We found out recently that an old competitor of ours TrackReddit is no longer around after being a valued Reddit Keyword Searching tool for users for years.
What happened to TrackReddit?
That is currently unknown but sometime in mid to late 2020 the TrackReddit.com site just went completely down!
What can I do now that TrackReddit is gone?
Well, luckily for you Notifier is here to help you out!
We are a fantastic TrackReddit Alternative. And plot twist, we support much more than just Reddit! With support for the entire internet coming soon!
Who made TrackReddit and who made this Notifier you speak of?
Well, we really don’t know how made TrackReddit. Which is never a good sign for a product. You want a product made by someone who isn’t afraid to show their face!
Notifier was made by a small distributed Team based out of Austin, Texas! We originally called it Notifier for Reddit but then had to change the name when we started adding more platforms. And our founders are all easily accessible on Twitter.
You can find Timothy Bramlett our Co-Founder, CTO, and aspiring meme-maker on Twitter.
Is TrackReddit likely to come back?
Well, unfortunately it certainly seems like TrackReddit is gone for good! It is a bit strange to me because normally what happens is that the developer keeps the site working and then puts it up for sell on one of the platforms specifically for this type of thing.
Instead though, TrackReddit is just down and it seems like it is up for auction on GoDaddy auctions:
So, with this in mind it certainly doesn’t seem like whoever made and owns TrackReddit has any intention of ever bringing it back!
