I think it was an uphill struggle and nearly impossible to pull off.

Spez had absolutely no interest in changing his stance on working with developers. The hugely ironic thing I read that made me give up hope (and stash my ~1 year in development Reddit App) was Spez saying "It was never designed to support third-party apps." -- yet no acknowledgement that the "official" app was literally a third party app that they purchased years ago called Alien Blue.

Developer of Reddit is Fun just released an app for Tildes. in c/technology@lemmy.ml

I've honestly never heard of Tildes til this post. As far as I can tell since there's no API he's just scraping html which is not ideal, but still it's worth checking out. I love that developers are still determined to make 3rd party apps.

What's not a sign someone's an asshole, but is often misinterpreted as one? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
