    Awesome!

    Is it possible to collapse comments?

    Edit: figured it out, double tap to collapse comments.

    Awesome.

    Works on Brave but not LibreWolf for me, and does not work on either when using a VPN.

      This is about the best thing I could have hoped for, so I really hope it doesn’t get taken down! (but then again, the for-profit Fandom wiki farm hasn’t taken down Breezewiki or other mirror sites yet, so maybe corporations figure this sort of thing isn’t worth the effort to take down.🤞

      If it’s popular enough maybe. For now it’s averaging 17-18k visits monthly so not even a drop in the ocean. But yeah i can’t post the direct link to rdx on Reddit. I have to post Github link.

    P.s. you have your markdown reversed with the links - the text needs to be in the square brackets with the link in the parentheses. [text](https://example.com)

    I am getting a blank page.

    In the console:

    Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.reddit.com/r/all/.json?limit=20' from origin 'https://rdx.overdevs.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

    Tested with both ungoogled-chromium and firefox without cookies

      There’s an addon for Firefox to disable CORS for certain sites. Need to use that.

        Same issue in safari iOS. I don’t want to use an extension for that.

        is ok to have workarounds, but i am pretty sure this can be implemented on the app side too. Thanks for the hint tho, at least if i need it i can use it

          I’ve also made an application for something like this. The only way to change this on the app side is to route all Reddit calls through the app server itself instead of doing it on the browser, essentially making the app a complete proxy. The only thing it does is increase traffic requirements and require everyone to host their own instance.

          An addon to disable CORS just for this site is really easy and imo the most sensible approach.

    This is really cool, thank you for making it. I opened in Firefox on my Android and used the Install feature FF has, and it’s really slick.

    I’ve been selfhosting this for months, it works great. Only thing is that most of the time I scroll through the same post like 20 times a day, i don’t know why.

    Hey - thanks for doing this. There’s one sub for a specialty 3d printer I want to keep tabs on but the sub is “unreviewed“ and unavailable on the web as it may contain inappropriate content (it doesn’t, unless you count people bitching about component troubleshooting). It’s available on your gateway. It seems to bypass all content restrictions, convenient for mobile browsing.

    This is really cool but i’m not going back.

    The only time I’ll accept going to Reddit is when the information I’m searching for links there.

      That’s where I’ve been at as well, and even then I try other sources first since now many times comments are deleted. Mine included, lol

    This is absolutely amazing, the actual Reddit site is so buggy on mobile. half the time can’t even get it to scroll or show more comments. this will circumvent the need for Reddit entirely when looking for specific or niche info. thanks for sharing!

    How do you go back to the feed after clicking into a post? I don’t see any kind of back button in the interface. (Trying it as a PWA on iOS.)
