#2Seems interesting!
It would be nice to integrate something like removeddit to alleviate Reddit's group-think and ridiculous mod behaviors:

#5Best advice I heard regarding reddit: disable old redirect and embrace the new redesign. Outcome - my reddit browsing has become minimal, focused and no longer enjoyable for procrastination.

#7Will be nice to also integrate various decentralised reddit clones to this so that people will slowly get weaned off the original (not to mention the discovery of the new ones and your own differentiation from other reddit frontends).

#8I thought this was a SPA app with WASM and thought it was really cool. Obviously, it is still great work but I think it would've been a tad bit cooler if it were a SPA rust app.

You can raise an issue and submit a patch or fork the repo if you think it should work according to your personal preference.

#10If you were building an interface to extract the most value from Reddit-like sites but reduce the chance of addiction what would it look like?
Less pictures, less color, less NSFW, time delays on content, exclude any subreddit that grows beyond a certain size, actively avoid things that are engaging lots of people etc.
There's the ethical qualm that your profiting from other people's addiction to surface your minor addiction, similar to someone who dabbles in hard drugs but is supporting the ecosystem for people using it as an escape from their life and getting trapped in it.
