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.

Call for proposal submissions
Which would be good open source 3rd party apps to test with? I found a couple of mobile apps, like https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit and https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

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.
