thredd VS RedReader

Extensions like Thredd (still works but is abandoned now just like Reddit Check extension of mid 2010s it shared inspiration from). Even Reddit's first extension (late 2000s, early 2010s) seemed to have basic similar functionality but Thredd is possibly the best version of it since it can find Website links that are shared in Reddit Thread's Comments section, not just only Reddit Post Links.

Are there any advantages to using the official Reddit app instead of something like RedReader?

I've submitted it on GitHub

Feel free to submit a feature request for it but it's very unlikely available in the API

Nope. The developer previously mentioned not wanting to do that because it could be confusing to the user. Feel free to submit a feature request for it if you feel strongly enough.

Nope. There is a 3 year old request for a card view which might be able to show more post information like the first line. Feel free to give that a thumbs up.
