It's read only.

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.

For those who lurk on Reddit - my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is an iPhone app now
(apps.apple.com)
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/16670881
Posting the update here because most of the users of RDX come from Lemmy community only.
Why?
A lot of users asked for a more polished viewer with more features and users in the EU now can not add web apps to home screen, so I spent some time building an iOS app. You can also save images and videos/gifs from Reddit now. It's stil completely free (with an optional donate option available), the web app also works.

Sorry?
Some people have asked about an Android app so maybe I will try to ship it by the end of this month. Thing is, I see thousands of users using the website but feedback/contributions etc are so small I don't even know what people want. I mean I am not expecting 5 star reviews/donations from every user using it but people don't even give good/bad feedback. I also don't want to force tracking because that's what I myself despise. So there is not way to know what people want unless they use the feedback form and tell me.
Double tap any comment? Guess I should leave this as a tip for new users because a lot of people ask me this.

Lurkers of Reddit - my read-only, ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is updated: Themes, Compact Mode and Infinite Scroll is here
(rdx.overdevs.com)
Posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX come from lemmy community only.
- Compact mode (smaller thumbnails, faster loading) is here,
- Infinite Scrolling is here. If that's your thing enable it from the settings page.
- All GIFs now load faster than ever.
- OP's comments are labelled.
- New themes and fonts. (not just the default dark and white, go colorful)

I wanted to see how many people are using this, the analytics are anonymous. I will switch it to a better privacy friendly analytics service soon.
Any reason I should use this over something like Stealth?
From my quick google search I can see that Stealth is an Android App ( i can't seem to find an iOS version) while rdx is a website you can fire up in any browser. if apps are your thing Stealth is certainly better. Anyway, Stealth and RDX both are open source and free. You can use whatever you like.
If it's popular enough maybe. For now it's averaging 17-18k visits monthly so not even a drop in the ocean. But yeah i can't post the direct link to rdx on Reddit. I have to post Github link.
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)
Indirectly? yes. But there are some subs like r/progresspics r/gainit etc that haven't moved to other platforms and have good content on them related to the niche the serve. Also the occasional google search that takes you to reddit.
Hey.... and if anyone is interested in a chrome extension to automatically redirect reddit links to this please tell me, I have made one and I am using it for myself for now, if people want it I will upload it to the extension store.

I am happy to answer them.
Because a lot of contributors and users when the web app launched a year ago were from Lemmy only. A lot of lemmy users use rdx on iOS or web app to lurk on the niche subs that haven't made it to lemmy yet. Also when I launched the iOS version so many of the users here asked me to let them know when I launch an Android version. I have linked one such thread in the first line of my post.
