It's more than that, though. I've been working this weekend on a basic Reddit frontend (https://reddit.spiffy.tech https://reddit.spiffy.tech) and it feels much faster to load the front page there on my phone than the mobile Reddit web app.
- zamadatix 7y agoAny way to see what the frontend looks like without giving a weekend project full access to my Reddit account? :)
- cozos 7y agoYou can always make a new account.
- spiffytech 7y agoI've updated it to allow anonymous browsing. The github is also here if you want to self-host: https://github.com/spiffytech/LurkerForReddit https://github.com/spiffytech/LurkerForReddit So far it just does read-only behavior, but in comparison to the Reddit mobile web app, it does enough network traffic to replicate the same view: (1) fetch the front page, (2) fetch your list of subscriptions.
- Chris_Chambers 7y agoHundreds of reddit employees have full access to your reddit account, why do you care if one more person does?
- diveintothe9 7y agoI like the idea of a split view, so you can continue browsing frontpage/possibly a subreddit while still looking at a comment section. If there was a way to incorporate mod controls and refresh just for the right pane, this would be a GODSEND for monitoring active threads.
- spiffytech 7y agoI would consider going that direction. I haven't moderated subs; can you point me towards a resource that lists the most crucial mod features to have?
