Going to miss this app
You must log in or register to comment.
RiF was all I used on mobile. Very sad to see it go. Reddit is dead to me. I hate them now and don’t see myself going back.
Why does the internet have to be so shit now adays
Ribbits
Same. The official app was so clunky and always crashing. I saw a recommendation for rif and never looked back. Without rif, I wouldn’t have even bothered to sign up for reddit.
I logged back into rif on Wednesday for the first and last time since the boycott, to say goodbye to my friends in a private sub and put a “screw you spez” message as my flair on the biggest public sub I post in. Unfortunately I was the only one in the private sub not willing to put up with spez’s crap, so they won’t be recreating it on another platform. Thank you, spez, for taking that away from me.
Very sad, I used this app daily for over 10 years. I didn’t even had the premium version, I also never logged in, I just lurked there for countless days. It may not be the prettiest app, but it works just perfect. Does someone know how I can buy the developers a few coffees? They deserve it.
man, this is bullshit
Related to another Reddit app, but not RIF:
The Relay for Reddit dev (u/dbrady) is bravely working on Relay. I got an update yesterday. The changelog said “further reduce API calls”. I think he actually wants to make it a paid app, which I’d gladly pay for.
I hate the Reddit change as much as the next guy, but if the Relay dev can actually make a profit from it that’d be awesome. The app cost a one-time $4 or something, which I’m sure he never made bank with. Having like $3-5/month for it would probably be sustainable.
I appreciate it, and that’s probably the right move. Unfortunately, I know that I wouldn’t want to pay that, knowing that I’d be helping feed Reddit.
My sentiments exactly! The app developers will make the same, all or most of that fee will go straight into reddit’s pockets.
