This looks nice, congrats on shipping :)

Did you know that "Redditle" literally means either "with Reddit" or "Reddit it" in Turkish depending on context and is actually the perfect Turkish name for a service that does something using Reddit?

As a similar example, Turkish for "Google it" is "Google'la". To google is "Google'lamak".

PS: The suffixes le/la are the same, vowels in suffixes generally adapt to the word that the get attached to due to vowel harmony.

My first assumption was that it’s a reference to the obsession with “le” in rage comics on Reddit like a decade ago: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/le
Pretty sure the 'le' is from the end of 'Google'. It's Google, but just for Reddit—Redditle. I like the Turkish coincidence though!
