#72Wow this is way more useful: https://redditgrid.com/r/comics Feels like reading the fumnys.
no kidding. WOW!!! IMO this ( https://redditgrid.com/r/comics ) needs to be the frontpage of redditgrid. It immediately sells it 100%. then some text saying what else you can look at.
so nice.

#74Your SSL cert breaks on www.redditgrid.com. Obviously it's not what you linked, but people will end up there eventually.

Hmmmm, I actually didn't mean "put it ON the front page" I was thinking "make it the front page". As in, that should be the view that opens when visiting the root - https://redditgrid.com should actually open https://redditgrid.com/r/comics and require a click to get to the current dashboard.
Of course, you know best. I was thinking about how insanely well this view sells your interface. At the moment if someone visits the root page, there is at least 1 click/tap before an example is visible.
It's really obvious there is a lot more (since the current tags are very prominent) so I recommend it.
But great job :)

#76Hooked! 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".
All -porn subreddits are mirrored as -fans: https://redditgrid.com/r/AbandonedFans although sorting may vary.

Maybe i am out of touch, but the only one i found anything funny was the Chicken Wings one.

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.
Let's be honest though, this grid-like interface is going to be used mostly for the NSFW subreddits, where the title and the comments aren't really that important.
how about for some sauce? yes, nsfw is the real use of this website, but I think having a way to get to the comments that usually have the source is missing a key part.

#79I 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…
I completely agree with this. There is also a very prominent NSFW selector at the top; I think it should default to OFF.
It really does a disservice to the web site to have it default to on.

#80Oh! I have been working on something so extremely similar to this that I'm sure I'll get accused of copying you. Congratulations on launching, and this looks really sleek. Can't pretend not to be disappointed, but I guess the idea must have some merit!
