24 alternatives to Reddit Firehose
Inspired by the upcoming reddit API changes, I built this to (ab)use the existing free-to-use API to view the latest content being posted in a minimalist infinite doom-scrolling web app. Warning: despite filtering NSFW-tagged content by default, you'll probably see some things that aren't exactly office-friendly.

Basically, the app uses JSON feeds of Reddit to replicate various endpoints. What this means is that you can browse Reddit without an account and get posts, comments, images, videos and nsfw contents without having to deal with ads etc. In it's current state it has just the basic functionality and I am planning to add more features soon. I'd be happy to hear what you think and get an insight from your feedbacks. APK Releases:…
