Hey folks — I built a super simple side project called NSFW Subreddit Picker that does exactly what it says: Click one button, get dropped into a random adult-themed subreddit.
Why I built it: I noticed people were Googling things like “random NSFW subreddit” and there wasn’t a good solution.
Reddit’s content discovery is great, but chaotic — especially for NSFW stuff.
I was curious how far I could take a single static HTML page with good UX and SEO.
How it works: urls.txt powers the backend (just a flat file of curated subreddits)
JavaScript fetches the list and opens a random one in a new tab
There’s also a preview bar and a grid view that dynamically pull image thumbnails from the Reddit API
No signups, no tracking — just fun and simple
Results so far: Site ranks #6 on Google for “random nsfw reddit”
Gets 1,000+ users/month with no ads or promotion
Built with plain HTML/JS + some light SEO optimization
