Often I find that I am checking if a news, wikipedia, etc. article has been dicussed on Reddit or Hacker News. Discussions on those website provide a lot of insight and feedback so I wanted to make the checking process a little easier. Now with a simple click I can determine whether or not the current URL has been discussed on Reddit or Hacker News.
Note: There are some significant inconsistencies with the Reddit search results. I couldn't find anything in the documentation, but I found a few discussions were others encountered the same issues. The below search endpoints do not appear consistent from Reddit (example search term is philosophy).
