How can you get to the related reddit discussion from a picture in your grid? If I'm like 50+ images deep and I want to see what people said about it... odds are browsing the actual subreddit is going to take ages.

There is a feature in the pipeline to add a link to the comments

#33Wow, this is really a simple concept but so visually impressive! Hope you add some of the functionality people have listed here (easy chaining, ability to click through, auto-scroll, I'd suggest adding even more transition types over time). Seems like it chokes on certain subreddits, except if included as a chain for some reason, but I imagine there are some bugs here and there to work out.
Very good job!

#34Weird, I was just looking for something like this. Have you seen scrollldit?
Both that and this are missing the ability to go back to the comments though

#35I 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.
It's polite to follow the rules when you build on top of someone else's work.

#36Nice execution! I made something like this a long time ago: http://www.ruddl.com/ Although I haven't maintained it in a while. Curious what kind of tech stack you are using?

Simply pressing the back button on your device should take you back, and also just removing the subreddits in the top also takes you back.
As for the comments that is the feature im currently working on adding.

#38Cool 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.

If it becomes an issue, i'd gladly rename it, literally just picked up this name cause the other domains i was looking at was taken.

#40Can 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!
Maybe ill add that as a feature you can enable, it was actually there in my prototype but i ended up removing it.
