BaconReader VS Stealth

In support of third party apps such as the BaconReader app which is developed in Kansas City, /r/kansascity is going private in protest on reddit's announced changes to their policies regarding reddit API and these third party apps. You can find out more here. Source: 11 months ago

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill many useful third party apps on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader. Source: 11 months ago

BaconReader: intended for everyone, with improved support for screen magnification, changing text size, colour contrast changes, and screen readers. Source: 11 months ago

Image previews by default is a new reddit thing. Most people that have been around since before the redesign use https://old.reddit.com with RES (or use classic-style mobile apps like BaconReader) and think new reddit is worse than pre-nerf Brig. No clue what the percentage of new vs old users is at this point, or if new reddit lets you disable previews by default, which it might. Source: almost 2 years ago

I just use BaconReader on my phone. :) Not too fond of Reddit's interface-changes, so I also use the old interface on desktop. Source: over 2 years ago

You could also use Stealth, and open the settings to change the Reddit Source to teddit, which uses reddit's public RSS feeds for fetching data, so it wont be affected by reddit's API changes. It doesn't support commenting or posting, but it's still okay for browsing. Source: 10 months ago

The above picture shows how Stealth, another Android app, has implemented alternative ways to get Reddit data without the API. Stealth is open source, so anyone can see how they've done it. Source: 10 months ago
