Cline
Cline adds Scrollhound from its CLI with OAuth, or in the VS Code extension with your token. Once it’s connected, Cline can read Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and Hacker News in full and quote what it read, with a link on every quote. Scrollhound only reads: it never posts, likes or follows.
