A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Didn't the 3rd party apps predate the official one by several years?
Not only that, their official app was a third party app that they bought and rebranded.
RIP Alien Blue.
Yes. Many of them. I use Baconreader which predates the official Reddit App by like four years.
Out of curiosity, I went and looked it up. u/talklittle first posted about RIF in 2009. So yeah. Several!
power hungry people love to rewrite history to suit themselves
Yep, they relied on these apps to help grow Reddit and now they're pulling the rug out from under them.
Worse. At least on iOS, the official app was purchased as a 3rd-party app. It used to be AlienBlue.
And I bet its API calls still look a whole hell of a lot like Apollo’s or RiF’s.
