And please go back to the old reddit, before the redesign. I can't stand it.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoBah, just be an API endpoint and let everyone use their own client. The only value in Reddit is the centralization and organization of users and subreddits.
- dingo_bat 8y agoWhere's the money in that?
- toomuchtodo 8y agoThere isn’t, but there isn’t any in Reddit.com the website either.
- prepend 8y agoI’d pay $1/year for that.
- Rjevski 8y agoThe redesign completely kills my 12-inch MacBook by freezing Safari’s UI for a good second or two while it’s loading all that shit JavaScript. I can load actual apps faster than their content-focused website.
- jghn 8y agoSame. I’m having similar although not nearly as bad issues with the new gmail. However reddit is so bad that unless they improve the performance I’ll likely just stop using it
- Rjevski 8y agoI use old.reddit.com for now but if they remove it I’ll just stop using the site. I only use it for procrastination anyway so not a big loss.
- megaremote 8y agoYou can switch it off. And supposedly they will support the old design for a long time.
- tannhaeuser 8y agoReddit went all-in on React for a content-based site, a fool's errand you'd expect of novice web developers.
- doodhwala 8y agoI hope you are aware that you can opt out of the redesign.
- dingo_bat 8y agoFor now.
- Ancalagon 8y agoYeah I am. But im not always logged in (such as on my work laptop), and the redesign blasts ads and is much less useable than the old design.
- arrizalamin 8y agoInstall a redirector extension (https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect) to redirect reddit.com url to old.reddit.com
- Ancalagon 8y agoOh hey thats a good idea, thank you!
- bobbles 8y agoYou can use old.reddit.com
- trevor-e 8y agoI like the new design a lot, everything is consistent and easier to read now. Opening links in a popover is nice (although a little laggy) because I don't lose my scroll position after closing the page, which eliminates needing the Reddit Enhancement Suite extension. The page is also responsive now, previously the side bar would restrict the comment area.
- Bodet 8y agoredesign in terms of looks or tech wise? I like the new design
