What struck me immediately was how fast this site loaded. No font popping, no cookie waivers, no newsletter nagging, no huge images, no JavaScript fade-in, no scrolljacking, no signup wall. Funny how practical it is to make a functional forum and news aggregator that Just Works.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this and would love to get an invite!

- tootie 7y agoI only browse reddit on https://i.reddit.com https://i.reddit.com for that reason. You can disable thumbnails and then the front page weighs less than 1MB.
