  • You can circumnavigate it.

    Just use revanced to patch sync to use a personal API key.

    Or compile an open source client like infinity to use your own api key. It’s free and you can continue to use the apps.

    It doesn’t screw anyone over because at least for now, Reddit gives free api keys to users (with limitations most users wouldn’t exceed) - they can’t even tell what the app actually is.

    But there’s no reason to believe they won’t eventually remove free api access for users as well. You can do what you want, but it’s a sinking ship hoping to use third party apps long term.

    Especially since the apps are no longer being developed, if reddit makes a change the app can’t cope with, bam. done. It’ll work for now though.

    Personally for me, it’s easier to just cut that chord now.











  • I don’t disagree that a native app would be cool.

    However it’s not likely to happen, app would have likely to be rebuilt from scratch, or just a wrapper around the web app like I mentioned before.

    This is more work for the dev to maintain/release a native app for multiple platforms rather than work on one that works universally.

    I also think wefwef works great as is. I think whatever issues there may be are likely to improve as the app gets more developed. It is only in Alpha status right now. Not even beta.

    With that in mind it works perfectly.
