april 16 update: pledgehound now tracks networkers' posts in any subreddit, new Current Status + Recent Rescues tabs, pledge counts per post, plus 5 new tracked subs

latest batch of updates:

author-first polling for networkers: kicked off by u/fugueink asking whether pledgehound could pick up posts she makes in subreddits we don't track (r/chiweenie, r/velvethippos, breed-specific subs, etc).

pledgehound now auto-polls every known networker's reddit profile on each cycle and processes any new posts they made in untracked subs through the same pipeline as regular tracked-sub posts. if pledgehound detects you as a networker (everything is automatic here), you get auto-added to the networker list and your crossposts in any sub start flowing in automatically - no action needed from you. as of today, 46 networkers are being watched, and 749 unique posts from untracked subs have been caught this way.

5 new subreddits tracked directly: added r/PetEuthanasiaList, r/DFWPets, r/adoptmeplease, r/SouthernTails, and r/adoptdontshop to the normal poll rotation.

Recent Rescues tab (https://pledgehound.org/#rescues). new tab showing the most recently rescued, safe, adopted, and fostered animals at the top, with photos and links to the reddit comments that confirmed the outcomes. 328 animals in there right now, updated live.

Current Status page (https://pledgehound.org/#status). new tab that shows the tracker working in real time: current fetch phase, progress bar, countdown to the next scheduled cycle, cumulative stats (cycles run, posts fetched, comments analyzed, errors), last cycle results, and a leaderboard of top networkers. clicking any number on the leaderboard expands to show exactly which posts were caught, with links through to each animal.

pledge counts per post on animal detail pages. each post row on a dog's profile now shows how many pledges came from that specific crosspost, highlighted in green when there's at least one. you can see at a glance which crosspost got traction.

various misc items:

live fetch progress everywhere it matters. the user search page and the Current Status page both show live progress while a cycle is running: phase, current subreddit, current post, counts processed, and a ticking elapsed timer. when the tracker is idle between cycles, you see a live countdown to the next scheduled run.

mobile polish. tab bar now fits all 5 tabs cleanly on phone viewports. networker leaderboard uses cards on mobile with every number clearly labeled. FAQ subreddit list is now auto-updating from the live tracker config so it stays accurate.
