Good idea, Reddit.

opens redreader

How does that work? I thought Reddit effectively banned third-party apps by forcing API usage fees?

Either way, I wouldn't browse Reddit now even if they reneged on the API scandal. Bridge has been burned, and the political landscape there seems horrid nowadays.

I read somewhere (who knows where) Red Reader focuses on visual impaired accessibility features so Reddit Corp waives the api fees. I assume it's cheaper for them than developing accessibility features into the official app.

Wow, interesting. I'm conflicted about how to feel about that.

Maybe like Boost for Reddit - it can be patched with Revanced and you can still use it
