I've built an anonymous, distributed reddit/voat/phuks like aggregator. It should be cheaper to run, and easier for communities to share the load. Please help bang on it.

I was excited. When you said 'built' I thought you meant from scratch.
Using the Reddit code will save a lot of work and make it easier, but I really don't like it.

It was very poorly designed, bloated, doesn't always load well and is absolute shit for mobile. Even worse than this sites mobile.
I support your idea, but not a fan of the software choice.

Edited

The HTML/CSS is the only thing used from reddit.

The backend, and the actual logic of the frontend is entirely original.

No python code involved at all here.

Alternative frontend/uis are possible and encouraged.

Yeah I look at it as a modernification of reddit that should be infinitely easier to get running and to hack on.

Phuks, not the worst mobile site.

Okay start.

Seems quicker than before now.

Neat! I'll keep an eye on it

Works slow as an old man pissing for mobile....I get that it takes time, but snappy snappy is what I am used to and this takes forever to load.

This is currently an intentional stress test. Initial load is quite slow at times, subsequent loads should be much faster.

Working on some optimizations.

Man from my experience you are one of the best at this type of shit. I am happy to see you here.

Should be faster now.
