Taking my example from my previous post on ruby fibers and the fact that the Redd gem does not support ruby 3.0, I have created a tiny gem that asynchronously grabs posts and comments from reddit.
I was originally using redd to login into a personal account and grab the front page. This was over kill as I could just visit the subreddits normally to get the information, making authenticating an account useless. This gem does just that via reddit's public JSON api.
No dependencies. No complicated setup. Fast and asynchronous by default.
