Why is everywhere I move the mouse a pointer cursor?
Click login, go to the bottom of the login page, and click 'log in as test user'
Is there no content?

Ironically, it seems this clone does a great job of cloning the performance of reddit, at least when I tried it (bunch of unnecessary requests that takes multiple seconds each, sometimes just returning errors)
Just use old reddit. It's fast. On mobile https://www.reddit.com/.compact (with a dot before compact) still works.
But... reddit already exists??
The purpose of this post is more about the potential of no-code. Just trying to illustrate that it's possible to build a web app like Reddit using no-code.
The goal really isn't to build a new Reddit.
These tools in my opinion aren't less devveloping it's just less syntacially knowledge. Often I have found using bubble is much harder than just writing a function to do the same thing. But on the aggregate I think that it allows for blazing fast ideation and experimentation.
Definitely harder to stick to traditional design (material UI bootstrap etc.).

Of course, the only reason Reddit has value at all is also its user community providing and ranking curated information. It's not the frontend, but it's also not the reliability or scalability or whatever else they have going on in the backend. Just as no one ever bought Encyclopedia Britannica back in the day because of the technical quality of the binding, though I'm sure it was top notch.
Reddit’s reliability is a major point and it’s something that has actually gone better. As horrible as the new UI is, back when the old ui was the main one, the site would go down almost daily and often for hours at a time.
I love no code! Wait. Wait. Hear me out... Building software is easy. Changing people's minds is damned near impossible. As an engineer: - I'm constantly handed shitty (or a complete lack thereof) requirements from non-technical people. No code lets people figure out that they haven't thought something out nearly as much as they think they have. I no longer am the bearer of bad news. - I constantly see business peopl…
Great point! It's scary how little thought people give to this. My all time favourite was when I made a news portal for a trader who wanted to create a hub around the commodity he was trading. It was mostly customized drupal with a few tweaks he desired, and roles for writing/reviewing/members. Come demo time he was upset there were no news articles in his "news portal". At first I thought he wanted more lorem ipsum…
To use a Reddit term, ELI5 what "no code" actually means. As someone who's only ever seen the term in passing on HN, I don't understand if there's a distinction from coding in a very high level and/or visual environment. To try and make it concrete by comparing with things I've personally seen: Is LabVIEW "no code"? Is Max/MSP "no code"? Was Dreamweaver "no code"? Is building an FX pipeline in Houdini "no code"?
it seems to be built using this, but that's all I can tell you: https://bubble.io/

Yep, definitely the authentic new reddit experience. Could even do twitter too.
Actually someone already built a twitter clone in Bubble. Worth checking that out too :) https://notrealtwitter.com/ But as for this site, I've added a boost to the site which should help somewhat with the surge in traffic. My bad for not being prepared for that
