Reddit is generally based on having a conversation in reference to content on other websites. This seems like a very natural place to experiment with integrations.
This idea is not even close to being original to me, but I am surfacing it here. It was originally referred to as "Metabrowsing" and is documented here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D2cB1thslA_uDLEd9uXSj_rpdielMhzzVrR90phWoxY/edit#heading=h.ml986jagfebh
That work was largely looking at a way to be abstract and pull outside generated content into your H experience when viewing a website.
My thought, which inspired the research to find the metabrowsing info, was to create a reddit client that did one thing. When you visited a site, it would check to see if there were reddits about this site. Then the viewer would contain those posts which are on the reddit listings. Annotations and replies to content would be mirrored back to the post on reddit with the original listing. Annotations can append the quoted content to the replies as well.
That seemed like a good way to build something rather quickly and learn what it would take post content and mirror it to multiple providers.
