I think this actually makes my reddit browsing slower. I think looking left to right and having titles not aligned is slower than reading top to bottom.

Typo in your twitter share button: "Scroll through* Reddit.com - http://scrolldit.com

Thanks for the typo! Fixed it in the latest version, expect it within a few minutes:)

Edit: New version with fix online.

I love these -- http://reddpics.com is similar, and I love seeing different takes on a client representations of reddit.

I made http://imgist.com in the same vein -- it's a different take on making good image content easy to browse (on reddit in particular).

You know what I have been doing the last hour? Scrolling Reddit :P I got to say, it's really a nice experience... Good work!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nice, although I find myself annoyed to have to wait after the vote counts to load (they only get fetched on mouse-over, right?)

That's true, only on hover. I did it to decrease the load on the clientside and on the side of Reddit itself, otherwise it is 50 iframes being loaded in the background for each render.

I think this is obscuring the hover on links. I'm on Firefox and when I hover over a link so I can see what subreddit it's in, the status bar shows it loading stuff from reddit, then reverts back to scrolldit.com.

Cool site, though. Could replace RSS for at least some of my reddit viewing.

Absolutely good job! But like canadaduane said, the flying boxes effect could be annoying when scrolling down the page; and, on the other hand, your design fits imageboards (like 4ch) more, because when so many pictures showing up, I (like most people, I think) would not read the text.

I sent this link to a coworker, and he was incapacitated for the rest of the work day. Good job!
