Hey,
This is a continuation of my work on re-creating social media sites to discourage getting stuck on a site, without blocking the site entirely. (See Tube)
I made this some time last year and it got lost in the pile. I absolutely adore Reddit, but like YouTube, it is a giant time suck. I wanted to dampen the addiction but blocking the homepage meant blocking really quality subreddits and all the info they contained.
If only the homepage could go away so... I made it. Like Tube, you get a text box and a button. That's it. You type your search in (in this case, it is a subreddit search) and you're off.
The one special thing I did this time was made sure all requests to Reddit were server-side, which means you can block https://reddit.com and this site still works! π
nice idea. getting js errors in chrome
