Why has everyone around here been writing a reddit-like platform for years? And aren't there a ton of those already? I used ieddit for a while (wow, correction) it still seems to be alive, www.ieddit.com.
- dt3ft 3y agoI did this in order to get hands-on experience in building a platform like this. A lot goes into it, even though it doesn’t seem so by looking at what is rendered. Full stack, from data model to frontend client. I was new to Keycloak, TypeScript and React, and this was challenging enough to learn how to use the technology behind. I learn best by doing.
- throwaway81523 3y agoNice, that's always a good reason to do something. It just seems odd that at least 5 of these have been posted in the past few days. I'm a luddite, I'd have implemented the API and not bothered with the front end at all, but that's just me ;). (Redreader is a good mobile API client, and I think Gnus can also talk to the Reddit API).
