What's the best weather app for Android?
I agree with this 100%. I used to use their app several years ago. I loved the super accuracy. Then they made drastic changes to the app that I hated. Uninstalled it and now use NativeAlpha to create a pseudo app for it.

Alternative way to access Reddit on phone (a tutorial)
Before I lay down the steps know that this tutorial is specifically for the "WebApps Sandboxed Browser" on Android. For another Android app you can get "Native Alpha" through the download options here: https://github.com/cylonid/NativeAlphaForAndroid. For this one you have to figure out the steps by yourself because I've not used if myself yet. The advantage of this one is that it has a more recent last update though WebApps Sandboxed Browser works fine in my experience. For iPhone user I'm sorry but you have to find a webapp alternative by yourself(if it exists). If you do please share it here.

Migration to KBin and the Fediverse
A mobile app is not yet available (but apparently in the works), so I personally recommend the use of an application such as Native Alpha to mimic an installed app. KBin seems to work fine on mobile browsers, as well.

Best Web App browser focused for privacy?
On android, theres a an app called Native Alpha which utilizes Android's built in Web View to isolate specific websites makes them into app-like feeling. Instead of in-browser tabs, it appears as separate individuals on the task manager. One can even set the website setting individually like javascript on/off, https, cookies, etc.

Pirate Weather
On android I use NativeAlpha for setting up Briefsky as app that opens in its own Android Webview app rather than a browser. It's almost like DarkSky minus the notifications.

How to rebuild Slide for Android with your own API key
Thank you kind stranger! I opened https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide/issues/3485 with slightly different instructions (shaved off a couple of steps). For example Step 1 can be skipped by doing clone from repo in step 4.

I didn't actually hear that they were doing API changes? I use Slide, so I guess for me one day in the future Reddit will just stop working.

r/Broadway will go dark on June 12th for 48 hours in light of the recent Reddit API changes
Slide: intended for everyone, but Its lead developer was immediately open to addressing accessibility concerns, during the beta process, and u/MostlyBlindGamer was able to contribute several fixes for the TalkBack screen reader.

If Reddit kills RIF, please open source RIF
FYI, Infinity and Slide are solid reddit apps and both open-source. I still prefer RIF, but in case your wish doesn't come true there are already at least two pretty good options.

Reddit third party app discussion
I used to use Slide. Switched to Infinity after seeing it promoted on F-Droid. Both are great (with a preference for Infinity) and I will stop using reddit on mobile because I refuse to use their mobile app.
