You can still use https://old.reddit.com . The UX is still bad, but at least it is fairly quick. Annoyingly it is common to get linked back to the new UI but still way better than using it full time.
And on mobile, just add .compact to the end of the URL. Like https://reddit.com/r/programming.compact
- It wasn't immediately obvious to me that modifying the UI on rddeck.com (by leaving subreddits) would actually modify my subscriptions on my account. There's a place for managing your subs in something like this, but it should be a lot more clear, and I think the main focus should be on the user customizing the UI without modifying their account
- The oblong pill loading bars at the top of each column look exactly like drag handles, and I was super confused why I couldn't rearrange the columns by dragging them. I think that making them drag handles would be useful, and reimplementing the loading bar as something else would be a good change.
- Dragging to rearrange the subreddit order is painfully janky in both safari and firefox for me on macOS. It's almost unusable.
- The subreddit sort order dropdown / active sort order implementation is strange. Simply having just the current sort order + a little chevron pointing down in a button would be much more intuitive.
If this was open source, I'd definitely be willing to contribute. Cool start, and a cool idea.

For all the shit that the desktop web experience gets, the mobile web experience on reddit is a 1000 times worse. It sometimes blocks you from viewing certain ( cough NSFW cough ) subreddits unless you use the app, umm what??
Use a third party app. They use api access and universally offer a better experience, without content blocking.
