Just to save a lot of time and cut through a lot of BS, apparently organizational rot. If you’re on iOS give Apollo a try (I’m sure there’s an equally good android app), it’s completely possible to build a fantastic Reddit app with the existing apis (most of the downsides come into play from user-hostile API administration). The team sizes and funding have to pale in comparison, and on occasion I wonder why this isn’t seen internally at Reddit as a mortal biz threat and dire signal to clean up the act. And then I remember — organizational rot.
- SwiftyBug 6y agoApollo is amazing. It's the best experience I've ever had in an iOS app. The navigation is fluid and the app is very responsive. I never cease to be impressed by Apollo.
- drivingmenuts 6y agoI have an app already. It’s called a browser. Requiring a specialized app just to get performance that should already exist is the epitome of what’s wrong with the mobile experience. If Reddit had been envisioned from the begging as requiring a special app for access, I would feel differently, but it’s a damn website that should be cleanly and effectively accessed through a browser.
