They need to start video on hover.

Mmm maybe with a timeout of a few seconds? Let me think about that.

Nice, although I find myself annoyed to have to wait after the vote counts to load (they only get fetched on mouse-over, right?)

That's true, only on hover. I did it to decrease the load on the clientside and on the side of Reddit itself, otherwise it is 50 iframes being loaded in the background for each render.

Whats the copyright situation around Reddit posts? Is putting ads on Reddit content allowed?

Not sure, but the ads you see are coming from Reddit itself ;-)

Currently browsing the listentothis subreddit using your website, I must say it is quite enjoyable :)

Wow, I wonder what people think when I tell them I spend a lot of time on reddit. This content looks absolutely nothing like what I'm used to seeing. I suppose I hide away in subreddits and miss all this weird frontpage material. It looks so...alien.

Don't worry, multiple subreddits work as well on Scrolldit: http://www.scrolldit.com/?r=science%2Bprogramming%2Baww

What did you use to get that grid system that adapts to the screen width dynamically?

Any links to a tut on that?

That grid system is an awesome jQuery plugin built by David DeSandro: http://masonry.desandro.com

Pretty addicting scrolling feature. An overload of information but a cool graphical way to see what's going on.
