I was asked to post here. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18458440

Since a lot of you asked me to build an Android version and post about it here when I launch, and I sincerely apologise that I forgot to post on lemmy sooner. The free app was launched on Play store almost a month ago and has garnered some excellent reviews. It has feature parity with the iPhone App and works on all Android 8.0+ devices.

You can download the app here.

Any feedback is wholeheartedly welcome, you can also post issues and contribute to the rdx web app on Github.

I'm confused. I thought we were all here because reddit killed 3rd party software such as this? Did the api decision get reversed or something?

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This tool works around the recent API limitations by not actually using the API at allβ€”it scrapes the actual JSON pages that constitute Reddit in order to present you with posts, comments, and media in a super clean formatβ€”a streamlined version of Reddit that loads instantly, even if you can’t post (or interact with posts) while using it.

Pass. I didn't leave reddit just because I wanted to get around it later using scraping and workarounds.

I'm here as long as it remains open. I enjoy the people here more too

I keep Stealth installed to use for search redirects, this could be useful for that.

It's play store only though, so I'm passing too

[–] overdevs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Will upload an APK somewhere.

[–] pirat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Since your app is open source, I think it would make great sense to either submit it to the F-Droid repo, create your own repo that people can add to their F-Droid client, or host the project in one of the places that are already supported as a source in the Obtainium app.

[–] node815@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I also use Stealth for my Reddit experience. It also doesn't support comments or logging in. :) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.cosmos.unreddit/

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've been using rdx since it first released, and In super happy with the app! Thank you for that!

[–] overdevs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Thank you for your kind words.

Is it possible to disable "Next Page" in favor of continual scrolling?

[–] overdevs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Settings > Appearance > Infinite Scrolling >Toggle On

I just gave it a try and clicking on the comments for a post seems to load forever

Edit: it seems like maybe this is an issue for posts with a large number of comments?

[–] overdevs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

it loads 500 comments by default to save on requests. Only a problem on posts with > 300 comments. Will add an option to load N number of comments only.

Is there a way for me to "subscribe" to certain subs? I'd like to not have to type "Berserk" or "BHorrorMovies" everytime

[–] overdevs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

top right sort button on the subs page, there is a subscribe button at bottom of the list.
