If a user requests information from a private Twitter account, the app hangs without any further communication. Investigate what the response to this request looks like, and relay to the user as appropriate.

When requesting from endpoints:
/reddit/subreddit/activeRedditors or
/reddit/subreddit/comments/
If the subreddit parameter is not the name of an actual subreddit, the requests will just time out instead of sending an appropriate response.

Expected behavior:

• Response will contain appropriate status code with descriptive error message about the issue.

Right now, endpoints only function as receptacles for provided query parameters; the parameters themselves cannot yet be included as part of the path. The pixelserver code should be refactored out (and some utilities created) for path-parsing.

Doing this manually is sure to be re-inventing the wheel in many ways, but will be a valuable exercise (and as long as we refuse to use Express, it fits the code philosophy to do so).

Brainstorm ways of doing this. The first thing that comes to mind is to split the path by '/' and negotiate each array element sequentially. This is probably not even remotely optimized, see if you can come up with something better.

Currently, requesting all of a user's comments only retrieves the 1000 most recent comments. Now that we know how to use Promises, find a way to retrieve all of the comments.

The most obvious new module is the "reddit access" functions that handle making requests and acquiring tokens.

Possibly consider one module for user-related queries and one module for subreddit/post-related queries (another one for votes, maybe?)
Alternatively: one module for comments, one module for posts.

Meanwhile all the exported functions could remain a part of reddit-module, and their internals separated out accordingly.

On http://pixelstomp.com/apps/yt-request/yt_lookup.html When retrieving youtube comments, sometimes authorChannelId does not exist, and getBasicCommentInfo on the website will throw an exception.

Questions:
When does authorChannelId not exist?

Scan through a reddit thread and use a directional graph to indicate which users responded to other users.
Optional: Identify strong components, then tally up the frequented subreddits of those users and see where the intersections are.
