rtv

Considering the original developer walked away from it in June 2019, I can see it being an issue. https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv/issues/696 The forks from it however keep it living for now. Im waiting for the day when Reddit kills the version 1 API.

For CLI values of desktop, there's the (no longer maintained) rtv (https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv), though last I checked it works well, and three others: https://gist.github.com/michael-lazar/8c31b9f637c3b9d7fbdcbb...

I'd happily do away with web browsers and use only native programs for each site I usually visit. For instance, when I still used reddit, I did through a fantastic command-line program called rtv [0]. I'd most definitely use something similar for HN, or any other platform--Wikipedia, for example, or ArtWiki, or MUBI. We certainly don't need a web browser as it is conceived today.

Well, we could always seem if somebody does a revival of the text-based Reddit Terminal Viewer: https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv

Which is unfortunately not maintained anymore: https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv/issues/696

There is also https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv which lets you browse reddit from a terminal

Privacy? With a FOSS (or even just third-party) app, the service operator has less fine-grained tracking and behavioral data for you as a user. The UI can also be designed with the user's best interest in mind, as an alternative to the egagement-driven dark UX patterns that have started becoming the status quo on the web in just a few years. I use a CLI for Reddit[0] specifically for this reason - I would definitely be potential user for something like Yack. Opening links from the app in an external browser is trivial. Now that you mention it, it'd be a good idea to make it work in the other direction as well. Surely it wouldn't be too tricky to make a browser extension for this?

When old reddit goes away, there will still be this: https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv I think there needs to be a movement to bring the WWW back to basic, readable, low-JS, animation-free, content-based sites.

For those interested in a different experience, there is a terminal client called rtv[0]. I use it for most of my Reddit browsing and I consider it even better than the site for text subs like NoSleep for example. [0] https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv

That's what rtv is for: https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv
