- s_dev 5y agoThey went from /r/Button to /r/Place -- it really felt like this was /r/Place sequel rather than another original experimental sub for reddit. Wordle would have been perfect -- every reddit account getting the little green and black squares display.

- yreg 5y agoI added the invent word to clarify that I don't mean "this guy created it, not the folks who wrote the article in the original post". How would you phrase it? :)
- globular-toast 5y agoI remember at least one that existed years before r/place. Drawball was created in 2005 and was probably better.
- MatthiasPortzel 5y agoThe OP's post was written the engineering team behind r/place. Wardle was indeed Reddit's product manager at the time. He wrote this blog post about 2017 r/place https://www.redditinc.com/blog/place-part-two/ https://www.redditinc.com/blog/place-part-two/
