You shouldn't clip the images (or at least not without some visual cue like fading), especially on a programming-related site where there's bond to be a lot of pictures of code and other text. This post: https://www.devrant.io/rants/59289 which is currently on the front page is a good example of why, it took me a while to figure out I was missing something.

Yep! I was wondering what was going on. Then I clicked on it and was immediately presented with a pop up modal over the image. It only took two page views to add that site to my Javascript blacklist.

There is also the problem when the image is squashed. It requires clicking on the image, which loads a new page with the image still squashed, and then clicking the image again to get it in a new tab.

Initial thought after installing: I'd love to see a SSO with Google/GitHub etc. Creating accounts is so 2012 ;)

Is there an RSS feed? The feed link doesn't seem to do anything.

Are you using Ghostery, uBlock, or something similar? One of those may be blocking sideloading of content.

uBlock, but I turned it off with the same result. I'm not sure real sure why someone would side load and RSS feed.

And what are you going to do when that third party (Google/Github/whatever) goes out of business? Still so 2012?

So this Website is nothing but a link to Google Play? The description there isn't very descriptive and the screenshots are just thumbnails that only let you guess the layout of the app. Since I don't have Google Play installed, I can't figure out what it is. Edit: Opening the site with a Desktop User-Agent I now see it seems to be a Twitter-like thing that can be used through a (Desktop) browser just fine. Providing…

I don't think subreddits would be good because there's too many losers like you on reddit.

I'm then going to switch to another SSO devRant will be offering after one service shut down.
