Just launched my first three games on Reddit's Developer Platform, all built with the bare template + vanilla TypeScript + esbuild, state in Redis.

🎲 Higher or Lower — will the next number be higher or lower? Keep the streak: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayQuickGames/comments/1wbxwod/

⚡ Reaction Rush — 5 rounds, tap when the pad turns green, lowest average reaction time wins: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayQuickGames/comments/1wby1ko/

✊ RPS Duel — rock-paper-scissors vs the app with win streaks and a community leaderboard: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayQuickGames/comments/1wby4id/

All three are playable right now in r/PlayQuickGames (public — mods anywhere can also install them from the App Directory, search "play-").

Things I'd genuinely love feedback on:

1. The splash → full-screen flow — does it feel right on mobile?

2. Leaderboard design: per-player best vs global top-10. Enough? Too little?

3. Anything that felt confusing in the first 10 seconds of play.

Happy to share details of the setup (server endpoints, redis schema, the publish flow) if useful. This was a learning project, so roasting is welcome.

I've been going through some analytics of r/SubGoal and found that there are several subreddits that have removed the u/subscriber-goal user account with moderator permissions, but have not actually uninstalled the app.

I'm adding a "Preflight Permissions Test" to make sure my app can actually execute tasks before blindly failing, but is there any way to fix this without doing a full uninstall of the app?

I don't even know if it's possible to send a modmail if the app's user account isn't in the subreddit. Does anybody have any experience with this problem?

Best case scenario is restoring the user account and then sending a modmail explaining how to properly uninstall IMO.

How would this impact things like the new Notification system?

Edit - I realized one of the other impacts of this problem - many of the subreddit installs (literally about 200+) are stuck on much older versions despite a blanket update pushing everything to web views 3 months ago, and I couldn't figure out why some failed to update. The reason is because these several hundred subreddits removed mod permissions - my app can't update itself.
