ShedditUI

ShedditUI is a desktop application for Sheddit. So if you don't want to interact with a server directly then you can use ShedditUI. It has been released for macOS and Windows. It's also free and open source.

NOTE: Sheddit UI is a mere desktop application, it still needs Sheddit server to function. So the below setup is required regardless.

Setup

There are a few configurations that need to be done.

NOTE: this is a script type app for reddit, so it has access only to developer's account, you can add more accounts from reddit app creation board

Get keys for reddit

1. Go to reddit's app creation page
2. Create an app, remember to select script from the radio button menu.
3. Note down client secret and client id (both will appear in the app details once it is created)

Get keys for twitter

1. Go to Twitter Developer Account and apply for a developer account.
2. Fill in the application. Verify your email address by clicking on the link sent in verification mail by twitter (after you complete application).
3. After successful verification go to create application dashboard and click on create app.
4. Fill in the application and hit create. (Filling only the required fields will suffice)
5. Upon completion, click on Keys and tokens tab and note down API key, API secret key, access token and access token secret. (Generate access token and access token secret if not already generated.)

Creating a env file

(If you are using ShedditUI it .env file be generated by clicking on the first icon in the top right corner.)

1. Create .env file in the root of this projects directory (sample env file below) Sample .env file looks like this

     clientid=your-client-id-goes-here
     clientsecret=your-client-secret-goes-here
     useragent=sample-useragent
     username=your-reddit-username
     password=your-reddit-password
     auth_url=www.reddit.com
     secure_api=https://oauth.reddit.com/api
     t_consumerkey=twitter-api-key
     t_consumersecret=twitter-api-secret
     t_accesstoken=twitter-access-token
     t_accessecret=twitter-access-secret
     bucketname=any-string-is-fine
     postgres_url=url-to-postgres-db
     smtp_server=smtp-sever-address
     smtp_port=smtp-port
     smtp_username=smtp-userame
     smtp_password=smtp-password
     smtp_sender=smtp-sender-email-address
