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. User beware.

Reddit Firehose launched on May 31, 2023 with 23 votes, #1,545 of 4,910 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

In plain words

Reddit Firehose is a minimalist web app that displays the latest content being posted across Reddit in an infinite scrolling interface. Built in response to Reddit's API changes, it uses the free-to-use API to stream real-time posts. While NSFW-tagged content is filtered by default, users should be aware that uncategorized mature content may still appear. The tool is designed for browsing Reddit's newest posts in a streamlined format.

    Reddit's API is effectively dead for archival. Third-party apps are gone. Reddit has threatened to cut off access to the Pushshift dataset multiple times. But 3.28TB of Reddit history exists as a torrent right now, and I built a tool to turn it into something you can browse on your own hardware. The key point: This doesn't touch Reddit's servers. Ever. Download the Pushshift dataset, run my tool locally, get a fully browsable archive. Works on an air-gapped machine. Works on a Raspberry Pi serving your LAN. Works on a USB drive you hand to someone. What it does: Takes compressed data dumps…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
