I never understood why Reddit didn't simply acqui-hire one of the good 3rd party Reddit apps. All of them are significantly better than their proprietary app. Since most of these apps are single person efforts, a few million should be good enough right ? I can't see that putting a big dent into Reddit's pockets.
