Hi all! Over the last year and a half, I've built a custom moderation interface for mods on my sub, which I'm calling Modpanel, aimed at something toolbox-integrated and mobile-ready. You can read more about what the tool does in this general announcement post; I'm sharing here to talk tech, and maybe get some interested technical-minded eyes on things.

Modpanel is built with PRAW, Flask, and my own PMTW. It can be configured to run as a standalone instance for a single user as a script-type app, or using oauth credentials. I consider it to be Alpha software at this point - it still doesn't do all the things I envision for it, and there's a fair bit of jank - I'm not great with Javascript, and the scope of the project grew organically so there's a lot of pieces that feel tacked on instead of being planned out with a real roadmap. That said, it's a stable alpha - my team has primarily been using Modpanel for our day-to-day moderation for months now.

One of the big pieces that's currently hard-coded that I'd like to change is the way removal messages are sent - currently it's hard-coded to send a modmail as your subreddit, because that's what my mod team uses, but I know that other mod teams will leave comments for removals and it would be nice to be able to accommodate that.

Long and short of it - I hope this tool is useful for someone outside of my team, and I would be thrilled to accept pull requests, feature requests, or bug reports!
