I am posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX came from this community only.

Multiple updates have been made to https://rdx.overdevs.com since I last posted here including:

  1. Importing subscriptions from Reddit
  2. Saving posts for later
  3. Share button
  4. hls/dash videos
  5. better search

My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use…

If you want to lurk on Reddit, you can use this web reader I built for myself when I got inspired by the Apollo app years ago

    Check the console of your browser. Browser’s aggressive privacy controls may be automatically blocking the json call to reddit’s api. (right click, inspect element)

        it does if you disable tracking protection for the website (the setting’s available when you tap the padlock icon next to the URL).

        I just opened a link in Firefox, it worked. Even works with install function

      Doesn’t work for me on mobile (IOS) too, unfortunately. I have adguard, firefox focus extensions on safari, and use Mullvad’s DNS blocking. I’ll have to go check which of them is breaking it, but I hope I won’t need to turn off anything huge for it to work. Either way, thanks for this, I’ve been using SinkIT for reddit to get a better mobile viewing experience, and this may be a better alternative.

        I hit “disable content blockers” in iOS Safari and I could then view it perfectly. I left tracking protection on, I don’t think it bothers it

      It isn’t the browser being aggressive. It’s a protection called CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) and you should configure your API to allow it.

      There are likely loads of guides whatever language / framework you are using. Users shouldn’t need to disable CORS protections to use your site
