What’s the viability (I guess legally?) of creating an app that bypasses the API and just scrapes Reddit and parses it to something roughly equivalent to what these 3rd party apps were doing?
- hbn 3y agoI'd hazard to guess it'd be technically feasible with the old UI, but the new UI is such dogshit it doesn't even work in a browser where it's intended to be used half the time. Factor in A/B tests and the random UI tweaks and updates I'm sure they do everyday, I'd say probably not worth the effort.
