Rdx is a free Reddit reader that emerged after the API controversy. It was always limited - couldn't post, couldn't login, but utilized a hidden feature of reddit - you could just add .JSON to the end of a subreddit url and get the content back in in a useful format for an app like RDX to ingest.

From the RDX developer:

Last night reddit disabled JSON feeds that is affecting your usage of rdx website and app. I am trying to find ways to fix this. Maybe I can fix the apps using some workaround, maybe I can't but I will try. You can keep the apps or get the apps from app stores.

Thanks for your support for RDX for over 3 years. A small project that reached millions of people.

Apple is removing PWA(progressive web apps) from EU Which means:

  1. Your subscribed subs will be removed if you don't use the app in the last 7 days - https://stackoverflow.com/a/76792560
  2. Your saved posts will be removed in the same way, and all other settings if you don't consistently use the website.
  3. You won't get the options I have added like a fixed header for standalone version.

So any PWA website that you currently use won't be able to store anything in your localstorage for more than 7 days after you visiting that website.

Reason: Apple confirms: It's killing home screen web apps in the EU

My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use...

If you want to lurk on Reddit, you can use this web reader I built for myself when I got inspired by the Apollo app years ago

I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

 

You can't login or anything but it's good for viewing posts and media and you can switch subreddits easily by clicking on the page title in the center like Apollo. Also it's on Github.
