Out of curiosity, how are you generating the subreddit suggestions? I added two game-centered ones, and all of my suggestions for more subreddits are NSFW: https://i.imgur.com/PWoBSg3.png

This was essentially my comment. All of the suggestions that appeared in the drop down were porn.

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.

> who cares?

Their lawyers care about trademark violations that dilute their brand.

This is really great, and surprisingly fast (images seem to load much faster than on Reddit, at least for me). Can you share more info about how/where it's hosted and the stack used (besides angular)?

That was my first thought too, it's scary fast compared to Reddit for me too. Well done!

sure in OPs case maybe, but I was referring to how you can just as easily use the API without mentioning reddit at all, which would also be in violation of their TOS

wouldn't be a trademark issue in that case, can you try your rebuttal again

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.

If it's made for NSFW, you'll want to be able to see other posts by the same user. Some essential interactions are missing. Nice work, though.

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.

Its now possible to click the image once its opened to toggle some extra information about the image, as well as a link to the reddit comment section.

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.
