> I do browse Reddit on my computer more than on iOS, but only because the Reddit mobile webpage is so terrible. Have your tried Apollo[0]? It's a much better Reddit experience on iPad or iPhone than their official options, whether it's the website or their app. [0] https://apolloapp.io/

Apollo on ipad is torturous. I use it on mobile, but narwhal blows it out of the water on ipad.

What's the problem on iPad? I used Narwhal briefly, before Apollo, but it never particularly impressed me, though I can't name any specific faults either - maybe the design language, which doesn't feel very native or in line with iOS' overall appearance.

It's not optimized for tablets, just scaled. Narwhal displays a normal ipad-oriented layout like mail.

Yack has a built in browser with reader mode. You can also configure it to open all links in your default browser. It will also allow you to bookmark (and schedule for later) links, posts, comments. In the future, it will allow users to curate their own feed and share it with others. For example; you can create a feed that has posts from specific channels on YouTube, subbreddits on Reddit and people on Twitter.

To be honest, this would've been much better as a web app/chrome extension.

I'm in this camp - I want to share content with Pocket (and increasingly Notion for personal use, then outward to Twitter/LinkedIn/Automation and all of that is already in my browser.

Mac only? Isn't this built with Electron? Why not have a Linux version? Or is this just for the cool kids in the exclusive Apple community?

Did you really need to add that final line?

Yes. I can't help myself.
