Hey Reddit lurkers! my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is on Android now
I was asked to post here. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18458440
Since a lot of you asked me to build an Android version and post about it here when I launch, and I sincerely apologise that I forgot to post on lemmy sooner. The free app was launched on Play store almost a month ago and has garnered some excellent reviews. It has feature parity with the iPhone App and works on all Android 8.0+ devices.
You can download the app here.
Any feedback is wholeheartedly welcome, you can also post issues and contribute to the rdx web app on Github.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm confused. I thought we were all here because reddit killed 3rd party software such as this? Did the api decision get reversed or something?
This tool works around the recent API limitations by not actually using the API at all—it scrapes the actual JSON pages that constitute Reddit in order to present you with posts, comments, and media in a super clean format—a streamlined version of Reddit that loads instantly, even if you can’t post (or interact with posts) while using it.
What's the point of you can't interact?
Lurking content should you find Lemmy lacking.
I'll just do that in Firefox with ublock then. At least I can interact if I wanted then.
Browsing posts, silly.
They did say: Reddit VIEWER
What part of "lurkers" in the OP title did you understand?
Just tried it and ran into a rate limit.
No doom scrolling, hidden feature
It's 100 requests per 10 minutes. I also cache so 90% of people don't run into that rate limit.
Could be good for things like the creative writing subreddits, where interaction is secondary
