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

griddet? grettid?

At that point, it's better to move off the "grid" idea; if I'm looking for grid + reddit, I will not remember "griddet" or "grettid" (or was it grottid? regreddit? griblets?)

And even if they do just steal an API key from a mobile app or two. The bigger risk is that they'll come after you for using their trademark, but there's some PR risk to that too...

> And even if they do just steal an API key from a mobile app or two. How does this work?

Mobile apps have the advantage of not being restricted to access on a single IP. So using their keys is often as simple as digging it out of the appropriate binary.

Android and iOS make it quite simple to grab the relevant APK or IPA packages as needed, then you just load that package into the appropriate decompiler or disassembler, look for strings first as often API keys are just left in as hardcoded strings.

It's not a recommended strategy if you want to be legitimate, but if you're going rogue anyways, may as well go all the way.

tetris + reddit = tetredd.is || tetredd.it ??

grid + reddit = gridddit.com || griddd.it

Cool idea, but it'd be nice to be able to click on an image to take you back to the comments page for it.

Both the title and the comments link is the next feature im working on atm.

ETA?

I went to the site, clicked "Earth", got a grid of cool images. Clicked "Select Subreddits" to see what other options there are under this category. All I get is a long list of porn subreddits. From a user experience POV that's both not what I would expect the behaviour to be, nor would I ever want that to be.

Porn is fine, but it shouldn't be so prevalent unless I specifically choose to go into the NSFW area of your website.

Hooked!

Btw, I notice a bunch of subreddits have the word "porn" at the end of their name. Trimming that from the name may help you expand your audience. To give you an example, I shared a link to https://redditgrid.com/r/AbandonedPorn with a friend on fb only to have them reply: "I’m guessing this is not safe for work".

The one that cracks me up is r/HumanPorn. It's totally SFW, but sounds like a subreddit that space-robots might use to view NSFW posts from human Earthlings.

Aside from a general PSA, who cares? Here are the TOS https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezNdDNK1-P8mspSbmt... the consequences are basically limited to them disabling API access until compliance is restored. Rules don't exist if there aren't consequences.

It's polite to follow the rules when you build on top of someone else's work.

Reddit doesn't follow their own rules half the time.
