    Geddit is an open-source, Reddit client for Android without using their API

  • Is this Capacitor specific code?

    Here it seems the JS code can fetch data from any domain:

    Since that is not possible in the browser, is that something Capacitor provides?

    https://reddit-micro.surge.sh/

    It's nothing fancy, I just wanted to make something with Svelte (it's got some pretty rough edges, and it's unfinished in some parts).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Infinity-For-Rings

    A Rings client for Android

  • You can do the opposite: take the Reddit apps that aren't working anymore, do a one line change [1] (to use https://api.rings.social) and you're now able to use a Reddit client to browse Rings [2][3] - a Reddit API compatible content-voting platform licensed as AGPLv3.

  • stealth

  • See also: Stealth [https://gitlab.com/cosmosapps/stealth], which is a native Android app, and Teddit [https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit], which is a mirror of Reddit, and also offers its own API.

  • Lemmy

    🐀 A link aggregator and forum for the fediverse

  • I mean there never will be if people don’t move. ActivityPub-based alternatives [Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/) and [Kbin](https://kbin.social/) are growing fairly rapidly at the moment.

  • tafkars

  • You may be thinking of tafkars: https://github.com/derivator/tafkars

    Activity seems to have died down now that some larger Reddit apps have announced they're building dedicated Lemmy clients. Connect for Lemmy is pretty good already, Sync is coming out with an app in a few weeks, and there are other apps out there as well.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • apollo-backend

    Discontinued Apollo backend server

  • I believe this endpoint is the only way to retrieve json with posts from Reddit, so every single app would use it. Even Apollo used it, although it did it with OAuth. See this line:

    https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend/blob/ab04b2...

    Disclaimer: it's been quite a while since I've last looked into Reddit API, so I could easily be wrong.

  • backend

  • https://github.com/rings-social/backend/blob/5ad749ded69fff2...

    Rings gives an API compatibility layer for Reddit that should make the transition from Reddit to Rings easier - if the app developers decide to switch their app endpoints.
