Mod Triage Board
Hey everyone!
I built Mod Triage Board while learning Devvit and thinking about one problem I kept noticing in moderation queues:
> moderation queues are full of coordination problems disguised as content problems.
A lot of the time the issue isn’t “what action should we take?” — it’s:
- “Is anyone already handling this?”
- “Who looked at this last?”
- “Can another mod help investigate this without taking over?”
So I built a lightweight shared moderation workspace on top of the modqueue.
### What it does
- Claim ownership of queue items so duplicate investigations don’t happen
- Add an optional collaborator mod to active investigations
- Leave internal moderation notes
- Track lightweight workflow activity/history
- Organize items into:
- Unclaimed
- In Progress
- Resolved
- Visual aging/SLA cues for neglected items
The goal was intentionally not to build Jira for Reddit mods or replace native moderation tools.
Instead:
> coordinate here, moderate there.
Reddit still handles approvals/removals/mod actions — Mod Triage Board just adds shared state and visibility for the team.
This was also my first Devvit app, so I learned a ton about:
- Devvit Web
- embedded webviews
- Redis persistence
- mobile constraints
- moderation UX design
It’s public now and I’d genuinely love feedback from moderators:
- What’s missing?
- Would collaborator workflows actually help your mod team?
- What would make this useful enough to keep open alongside ModQueue?
