Show HN: Readr for Reddit – Medium Like Viewer for Reddit
- sarazond 12y agoHi HN, Readr for reddit is a small chrome extension I have built that opens up a Medium like viewer for those long reddit comments (more like short stories) that are a pain to read with standard reddit UI. Landing Page - http://codepen.io/saransh/full/qEOLKj/ http://codepen.io/saransh/full/qEOLKj/ Being a regular on reddit, I (and perhaps some of you) have come to like its UI for its simplicity, but I felt the need to make some improvements to the poor reading experience on some of the longer, more detailed discussions. Like on /r/AskScience, /r/WritingPrompts etc. So I made this. Readr adds a 'read' link at the bottom of every comment, and clicking on that opens up a Medium-esque viewer for that comment. All this without actually leaving reddit. (Press 'ESC' to jump back in to good old reddit) Currently very much in alpha, I am looking for any and all feedback and feature requests. Thanks
- hackerjam 12y agogreat project. well done. definitely serves a need. will your reader work for a hacker news clone, like crytoanalys.is, or data tau or something like the econolist? and if not, do you have plans to make it available for these sites too?
- sarazond 12y agoThanks, it means a lot! It'll actually be pretty easy for me to port this over for HN, or any of the other things you mentioned, and I'll definitely work on it.
