Goodnight, RIF
(lemmy.world)
Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023
Goodnight sweet prince. Buying golden platinum was the best investment I've made in any software. I wish I could see how many hours I spent on it.
Thank you talklittle for your amazing work on that app. I would consider myself lucky to be able to buy golden platinum in whatever you next develop. I'll watch your career with interest.
12 years multiple hours per day.... I don't want to know the total!
It's so hard not to open rif as soon as I unlock my phone.
Open the app this morning in over two weeks. It was still showing Reddit. I wasn't login wondering if I could? Any reason why it still works?
No one knows. Reddit is fun has been working fine just no logging in. I guess Reddit messed up somewhere and will probably deny API access soon.
It has to do with how it uses the OAuth token.

I put Connect where RIF was. Tragic and a little enabling, but it works
