What it does

Use Pusher's Realtime Reddit API to build engaging Reddit app on Mobile or the Web. Completely free and unlimited. Pusher is the perfect platform for turning a static, REST-based API like Reddit’s into a smooth, realtime API utilising the power of WebSockets. The best bit? You don’t need to change anything with an existing REST API to do this! We love Reddit at Pusher. You don’t have to take our word for it though, with over 731 million unique visitors last year , and over 40 million story submissions, it’s a pretty big deal however you look at it. It’s a weird and wonderful place, whether you want to keep up to speed with programming and JavaScript , or simply just want to see beautiful…from blog.pusher.com

    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…
