When was the first reddit third party app released?

How far do we have to go in terms of development?

If we want Lemmy to take all of reddit's traffic we need to have a much better ui expierience with more bells and whistles.

Before 2010:

In the early years of Reddit, third-party apps were limited, and many users accessed Reddit through the official website. 2010s:

Throughout the 2010s, developers began creating a variety of third-party Reddit apps for different platforms, including iOS, Android, and desktop. Some of the most popular third-party Reddit apps that emerged during this time included Alien Blue (iOS), BaconReader (Android), and Relay for Reddit (formerly Reddit News, Android). 2020s:

Reddit continued to grow in popularity, and more third-party apps were developed and gained users. Notable apps like Apollo (iOS), Boost for Reddit (Android), and Sync for Reddit (Android) received updates and improvements. Some third-party apps began incorporating new Reddit features, such as chat and video hosting.
