lastXdays: Research Any Topic from a Custom Time Range
Research ANY topic across Reddit, X, and the web with a configurable time window. Specify how many days back to search.

code
lastXdays 7 "AI tools" # Last 7 days lastXdays 14 "Claude Code" # Last 2 weeks lastXdays 3 "breaking news" # Last 3 days lastXdays "best prompts" # Defaults to 30 days
Time Range
- •Minimum: 1 day
- •Maximum: 365 days
- •Default: 30 days (if no number specified)
How It Works

- •Research Reddit, X, and web for content from that time window
- •Synthesize findings with engagement metrics
- •Deliver expert-level prompts based on research
