Exploring Reddit’s third-party app environment 7 months after the APIcalypse::Apollo dev: "I don’t believe Reddit’s leadership... cares about developers anymore."

RedReader gets a barely-glance in a single sentence. A single dev (and with users providing PRs) has one of the best, and most unknown, apps for over a decade now. Really? QuantumBadger also put up quite a fight in favor of other developers, was openly critical about the changes and the handling of the situation, and was smart enough to record calls to prove that what reddit was saying was 180 from what they were doing. And all this could be gleaned from 15 minutes on their subreddit. Cmon, if you're going to do 'investigative journalism', investigate each equally, fucks sake.

RedReader is definitely a gem. Incredible app that still works despite the Reddit appocalypse.

How does it even work? I thought the api changes made 3rd party apps effectively impossible?

It got an exception so Reddit could look accessibility friendly as they attempt to make their app compliant
