#3This is a bit pedantic, but elastic in design context usually refers to a design element that changes with respect to the user's font size. Reedit, has a few elements where that is the case, but I think the term that's more descriptive is responsive, meaning the layout changes with respect to the client's window size.
Saying it was elastic actually had my interest piqued, because you don't see many layouts that really respond to text size any more.

#4Looks good. I'm always looking for better ways to read reddit. I don't like their UI.
I've been experimenting with the best way to read reddit. My first idea was a specialized browser that has 5 tabs open. When you close one tab, another automatically opens with the next unread story from the current subreddit. That way, as fast as you could smack Ctrl+W, you'd get the the next unread story, already loaded. It worked ok, but wasn't great.

My next idea was the command line. Now I just type 'r subreddit_name' and it opens up to 30 unread links. Seems the fastest way to read reddit.

The biggest problems with reddit aren't so much how to read it, but rather what can be read there.
Most of the major subreddits are no longer worth following, unless you're interested in hipsterism or curious about the meme-of-the-hour.
The smaller subreddits generally have limited traffic, resulting in very slow discussion. Email mailing lists are far superior for discussions with this size of a community.
Censorship has become an issue within some subreddits, too. It's not about getting rid of blatant spammers any more. Far too often we've seen contributing, albeit unorthodox, members of these communities banned for expressing views that may be controversial, but still worth expressing.
Software won't fix these major problems. They're issues with the community itself.

#6Looks great. But on my Nexus 7 it shows the sidebar in portrait mode but hides it in landscape.
Edit: Wow, just tested it for a few minutes. It's amazingly fast, works great.

Are there some worthy mailing lists for discussion out there? I´ve heard this opinion before, but I´ve never seen specific lists mentioned.

#8Links should not open in new tabs on the iPhone. It takes two extra taps to close the image/story and go back. Nice job!

I would also like to know this. The mailing lists I'm on consist of calls for papers, low paying job postings, and out-of-office messages.

#10Suggestion: http://berbaquero.github.com/reeddit/ ; should work!
Author should add this. As a regular of /r/WTF, I felt this is what reddit should be. Also, keyboard navigation, maybe?
Awesome work!
