Reddit post to Markdown

Markdown is a plain-text formatting syntax used by GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, Bear, Ghost, Substack drafts, Discord, and most static site generators. The output uses a heading for the post title, blockquotes for the body and comments, and standard Markdown image and link syntax. Drop it into any of those as-is. In editors that don't render Markdown (Apple Notes, Google Docs) the raw text still reads cleanly as a quoted excerpt.

It uses Reddit's public .json endpoint, the same one you can hit by appending .json to any post URL in the browser. No Reddit API key, no OAuth, no login. Your browser hits a thin Stashr endpoint that forwards the request to Reddit (the browser can't call Reddit directly because of CORS) and returns the response unchanged.

Deleted authors, removed comments, and [removed]/[deleted] bodies are filtered out of the comment list, so your output stays clean. If the entire subreddit is private, quarantined, or banned, Reddit returns 403 and the tool surfaces that as a friendly error instead of pretending to succeed.

Yes. Gallery posts render each image as a Markdown image, Reddit-hosted videos become a video link with the poster image alongside, and link posts include the external URL. The output is best-effort, since Reddit's response shape varies, but the common cases are covered.

Yes. Reddit's API returns selftext with markdown special characters pre-escaped (asterisks, underscores, dashes, brackets), so a copy-paste of that field renders as literal punctuation in Notion or Obsidian. The tool unescapes those characters before emitting, so bold stays bold, lists stay lists, and inline links remain clickable wherever you paste the output.

The top 5 comments by Reddit's 'top' sort, with deleted and removed comments filtered out. We deliberately keep it short so the output is paste-friendly rather than overwhelming. If you need the full thread, the footer links back to the post on Reddit.

Yes. Copy the Markdown into a notes app that syncs offline (Notion, Obsidian, Bear, Apple Notes, etc.) and the thread is available next time you open that app on any device. Or save the output as a .md file in iCloud Drive or Dropbox so it travels with you. Since the Markdown is plain text, it survives platform changes, account lockouts, and the original post being deleted later.

No. The .json endpoint is unauthenticated and ships the same payload powering the web client. If you hit a rate limit, wait a minute or try again later. For high-volume or automated use, you'd want Reddit's official API with an app registration, but for one-off conversions this is the friction-free path.
