Beating a dead horse here, but new reddit is an embarrassment and the devs should be ashamed. It's awful. Do better.
If you do want to save your reddit addiction, and you've got iOS, I recommend the Apollo app. It's made by one guy and is 100x better than anything from Reddit itself.
- dewey 6y ago> but new reddit is an embarrassment and the devs should be ashamed. Do you really think the developers come up with the ideas to add a promotion banner for the app and other annoyances like that?
- heavyset_go 6y agoI've witnessed enough developers excitedly implement dark patterns and justify doing so with convoluted reasons like it improves engagement, it's good for the company, or that users will have an enhanced experience using the app, etc.
- bigbubba 6y agoBad annoying design may have been imposed on the devs by idiotic management, but that doesn't excuse their failure to even implement a shitty design well. There is no reason for it to perform like dog shit, no matter how ugly management demands they make it, yet it certainly does perform like dog shit. I honestly think any devs who worked on this should think twice before admitting it on their resume, because it really does reflect poorly on them.
- spurgu 6y ago> I recommend the Apollo app Seconded. I used Apollo on iOS and now I use Boost on Android.
