Nice work! I once made a similar page (although for a specific subreddit) to show an endless page of perfectly looping gifs. It's certainly not perfect and just a quick afternoon hack when I was first getting into JavaScript.. you may have to resize the page to get the images to fill the screen at first. https://cgati.com/loops/

This basically turns reddit into Tumblr.

One request, a small border between images. Multi-image posts get so confusing when you don't know where they stop until clicking. ("Is that cat part of the joke above, because if so I don't get it?")

Name idea:

    greddit
    griddit

Nice .. but alas, it doesn't support chaining subreddits, e.g. reddit.com/r/CabinPorn+LavaPorn .. that's kind of a neat feature in reddit itself, so I'd request this also be possible in redditgrid too ..

I may completely misunderstand what you mean because I'm not a frequent Redditor but I was able to select multiple options for display in the grid, it just seems some subreddits are not supported. E.g. https://redditgrid.com/r/geologyporn%2BCabinPorn

Actually wanted those names, but both domains were taken :(

Slick interface, needs subreddit chaining. Though I question the use of "reddit" in the name. Not sure how hardcore they are with protecting trademarks, but I wouldn't chance it. Probably also violating API rules.

It's already possible to chain subreddit just add a + between the names in the url or use the search.

About the trademark ill definitely have to look into it, wanted griddit but it was taken..

This is beautiful. If you could also add the post caption on hovering the image, it would be great.

Agreed. This is excellent, but being able to link back to the original post on certain images would make it perfect.

That is indeed the next feature I'm working on :l
