Is the source code open source? It would be a great learning method for me. Thank you.

Can I second the request for gaps between the images - would really help identify images that are split into frames. I'd also like a link to the comments, and/or the title of the post - sometimes those are really relevant (or required for part of the joke / explanation).

Otherwise really slick! Well done!

Ooh, it's like Panoptikos but supports HTTPS. It would be cool if gif autoplay was an option.

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.

Definitely. This is a very pretty redesign, but I think the real secret sauce of Reddit is post titles, and comments, and you definitely lose something not being able to see either of those.

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

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

griddet? grettid?

I hate to be a downer, and I really like what you've made... You're currently breaking the Reddit API access rules. In order to follow the rules, you would need to name your app "Grid for Reddit" or something along those lines. https://www.reddit.com/wiki/api Edit: I'm not sure how the API rules play out if you're not using the API directly (like tacking on the json parameter), so maybe you're ok?

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.
