Good luck. News is the API fees are going to destroy Apollo.
What a poor timing for something like this.
Actually, perfect timing. It doesn't use the official API.

#12Does it do the scraping before you visit the subreddit ? Is there any local caching involved ?
Or are all the improvements from skipping the client side garbage calls?

#13On my personal Teddit instance, pages load approximately eight times faster than on reddit.com! There are also some nice UX features, such as being able to see the entire nested threads (like here on Hacker News) without expanding them individually.
Did you do anything to speed up Teddit page loads? I self-host too and Teddit is a bit sluggish since it seems to load everything on the page before rendering[1]. I tried Libreddit as an alternative, which is much faster, but I prefer the look/feel of Teddit. 1. https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/issues/248
No, I'm sorry to say I haven't made any patches for that. My broadband speed is about 5MiB per second and it loads quickly on that, but Teddit does indeed time-out quite frequently on GSM.

#15Slightly off the main topic - but this is the first time I've seen codeberg.org (where Teddit is hosted). Looks like a serious competitor to GitHub, curious if anyone has worked with Codeberg and can list its pros and cons compared to GitHub / GitLab.

HTML is a perfectly good API.

#17While we're on the topic of privacy focused frontends, anyone have recommendations for similar YouTube frontends?

I believe Teddit uses scraping; I run a Teddit instance for myself and haven't needed to set up an API key.
It would be great for someone to scrape Reddit and expose that information in a format compatible with the official API.
So if you call /get-comments/1234 it scrapes post 1234 and returns the JSON object exactly as the official API does.
Then third party clients can just point to this endpoint.

Reddit is a SPA though right
Don't know to be honest. I assume new reddit is while old reddit isn't. Truth is the job is even easier in case of an SPA: you just need to use whatever internal APIs they built for themselves. Can't add idiotic restrictions to that without affecting the normal web service.
