#2Looks good. But I find it hard to read in that form. Cool project. It works on nsfw subreddits too.

Depends on the type of the post. I suppose I could have fetched comments, but for now, it uses lorem ipsum if the post isn't a text post. If it's a self/text post, it uses that text as the article body.

#8How long did it take for you to build it?
And did you already know the backend tech in order to speed up development?

6 hours -- I had the idea this morning and started at around 2PM (first commit on GitHub). Finished at around 8PM. The app is all client-side, so I didn't have any backend need.
The app renders using a UI rendering library I wrote (https://github.com/thesephist/torus), so I knew the tools I was using inside out, which helped with speed.
