You could literally build what you are describing on the Reddit platform right now.
- redthrowaway 15y agoApparently RedditOSS is in shambles, and very difficult to get working. They were looking to address that with the new hires, however.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoHave you checked recently? I'm familiar with the sentiments you're echoing but I think they're beginning to address this issue. The GitHub repo is seeing some activity at the very least.
- redthrowaway 15y agoThe last I knew of it, there was a post on HN. I later asked hueypriest if their new hires would be trying to fix up redditOSS, and he said it was one of their priorities. This was a couple months ago (if not more), so it's entirely possible that they've done significant work on it. If that's the case, I suspect we'll see a blog post before too long.
