An average Apollo user is causing 344 API requests per day? That's a lot! I wonder if Apollo should prioritise reducing that number. I'd bet anything there is a lot of low hanging fruit to be had with aggressive caching and general tidying up.
- leovander 3y agoInfinite doom scrolling, clicking into threads, load more comments, replying/making comments, etc. It adds up.
- askafriend 3y agoApollo users are also probably more likely to be Reddit power users. Think about it - who would go out of their way to download a un-official app?
- mvdtnz 3y agoI've downloaded an unofficial app and I'm by no means a power user. I just don't like the official app.
- Klonoar 3y agoSelig isn't exactly new to this rodeo, I would honestly wager there's no low-hanging fruit in this regard. Edit: and certainly nowhere near enough to offset that kind of price increase.
- ohgodplsno 3y agoThat is exactly a Reddit admins response, and I can't even begin to process how irresponsible, unprofessional and downright moronic of a take that is. Other apps are around that ballpark, and that's every before considering that Apollo users tend to be heavily power users. Over 7000 moderators of 20k+ users subs for starters, means a lot of requests.
- mvdtnz 3y agoSorry if you think this take is "moronic" but I've gone through the exercise of cutting back usage on chatty APIs several times and it's real, meaningful work that makes a difference. I'm not a reddit admin. Please try to engage in good faith on this website. I'd suggest reading the "In Comments" section of the hacker news guidelines if you're unsure. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- pseg134 3y agoYou implied that no work had already gone into optimizing it with no basis for the assertion. Then you misinterpreted him saying that a Reddit admin made the same response on the thread in question and accused him of bad faith. Maybe you should also take a minute to review the guidelines that you also included in your post.
- mvdtnz 3y agoI implied no such thing.
