I am posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX came from this community only.

Multiple updates have been made to https://rdx.overdevs.com since I last posted here including:

  1. Importing subscriptions from Reddit
  2. Saving posts for later
  3. Share button
  4. hls/dash videos
  5. better search

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

This is wonderful! I occasionally go back out of curiosity (aka to confirm it’s still trash) but refuse to engage. I’d hoped I could find an extension that would prevent accidentally upvoting or commenting. This is much better. I’d give you gold but “we don’t do that here.”

Kudos, Dev!

Thank you so much. Also you can use any browser redirect extension to redirect reddit links to rdx. match https://www.reddit.com/r/(.)/comments/(.) redirect to - https://rdx.overdevs.com/comments.html?url=$0

Thanks, I am lazy.

Added themes to RDX so you can style it your way (colours and fonts).

Dude, get out of my head. I’d just been on and stumbled onto themes while looking for a way to better format for desktop. Love the addition.

Was just on my way here to pull you leg and say you’re single-handedly responsible for my consuming large amounts of Reddit content again.

[–] overdevs@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Haha!

looking for a way to better format for desktop What are you looking for? more content on the desktop. The width of the content is fixed to 500 now because that's good enough to read on larger monitors. Thinking of making it 700px. Any other suggestions?
