Definitely. We'll probably add a counter next to it to show the number of sets you've viewed (as suggested by franciscoapinto)

#22Right, I'll just round up my suggestions and those I agreed with from other comments: - In portuguese, and I imagine a lot of other languages, "mongo" is a pretty nasty word. Think "retard", only worse. - Have this linked with your reddit account so you can up/down vote. Also, then you could, by default, show pics from the user's default subreddits. You should allow an user to add/remove subreddits to get pics from,…

Were they going for "mongo" when they called it "mongout"?

More than that. Make it feel like I'm accomplishing something.
Outstanding job, the interface is as simple as it could be.

#24Good work. It's pretty clean.
Consider mapping a key to share links too

No, I don't think so. I've heard the phrase "to mong out" before. But still, the word is in the URL. Just like how Expert's exchange didn't mean to create a reference to gender reassignment with expertsexchange.com.

I'm fairly sure not, but it was one of the first things that I thought about when reading the URL.
The portuguese/brazillian web users are suckers for this sort of quick-fix, instant-gratification entertainment [1]. I, personally, would take no chances with the apps name. It wouldn't be the first time the portuguese language had a play on significant naming decisions [2] :)

#27You mean other than just using reddit?
Well, all the "christians suck, athiest rule!" posts do give it a more hostile tone. I'm not aware of any other subreddits with what amounts to hate-speech being allowed on the front page.
Yes, we, the rest of the world understand that the 'religious issue' in the US has become tied in with the 'political issue'. But (again speaking on behalf of the rest of the world) we just wish the US would grow the @@@@ up and get the @@@@ over it.

#28Well done. Kept me engaged to the last picture. A couple of observations though:
The left-right keys still advance to the previous / next picture in the background, when the comments are in the foreground. Suggest that a left or right hides the comments as well as moving forward or back.
I second the comment made elsewhere on pre-loading the next picture to save your users waiting for the load-time.
How do I navigate the comments with the keyboard? I use the cursor keys to scroll down, and it doesn't work, as up / down is mapped to show / hide comments.

#29You should preload the next image, so when I hit [right] key, it just shows up without delay.
right/left was pretty snappy for me, but I found myself wishing it would preload the reddit page each time. I found myself hitting [up] for every single image (because I needed the explanation that often..)
