Reddit Repost Guard — Braydon Viragh

Ever spend time writing a Reddit post only to realize someone already asked the same thing? Repost Guard catches that before you hit submit.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Go to any subreddit and start creating a new post
2. Type your title and click out of the title field
3. A panel appears showing existing posts with similar titles
4. Click any result to read the original post before deciding whether to continue

The extension searches the subreddit you're posting in and ranks results by title similarity, not just upvotes. Posts that closely match your wording appear first.

FEATURES

• Smart ranking — prioritizes posts with similar phrasing, not just keyword overlap
• Works on any subreddit — automatically detects where you're posting
• Lightweight — no external servers, no tracking, no accounts required
• Configurable — adjust how many results to show (3–10) via the toolbar popup
• Privacy-first — only calls Reddit's public search API, nothing else

PERMISSIONS

• Storage — saves your preferences (enabled/disabled, result count)
• Access to reddit.com — needed to detect post creation pages and search for similar posts

No data is collected, stored, or sent anywhere other than Reddit's own search API.
