Would probably switch in a heartbeat if I could expand the posts without opening a new tab. How difficult would it be to port Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) to this? Or is there some browser extension that lets me accomplish roughly the same thing? I think I'm one of many people who spends most of their time lurking anyway. Might still give it a go...if I wouldn't browse reddit as much with the added friction of opening links to view posts, maybe I shouldn't browse reddit as much anyway.

I feel exactly the same. After they butchered m.reddit this seems like a viable alternative for mobile, but is just missing the ability to enlarge images/video without opening the post for me. Happy to open comments etc in a new tab ofc

I guess you can write some javascript that adds an iframe to the page and with the link as the source.

This is really challenging thing to do without any client-side JS. It would require downloading media (not just little thumbnails) of every post in the current subreddit view. I might make a feature where people can enable (disabled by default) certain features from the preferences which enables them to use features like this which require client-side JS.

  Having given teddit a go this would probably be a must-have for me. I'm by no means an anti-javascript absolutist though.

  Thanks for making this! Is there any way for a browser plugin to use client-side JS without the site using it? I know this might be a stupid question, but I know very little of extension and frontend development. That aside, if it isn't too much work to add or support RES features, I would love it and totally use teddit. I (and perhaps some other people here) would even be willing to throw a few bucks your way to help with development/server costs if you open up a donation page.
