Hey everyone,

I decided to make an app for browsing reddit.com. As much as I love my N9, browsing reddit in the native browser is a pain.

This is my first app that im releasing so dont be too harsh

There are still features that I would like to implement that arent in this version so I will be continuing to develop this app.

Oh disclaimer. I will NOT be adding a user account feature to the app as I do not post nor upload onto reddit so I do not need such features. I may consider in the future if there is enough interest but I think thats when the app would become a paid app as the app would no longer just a hobby for me.

- Currently the app shows the /r/all subreddit on the main page but you can change to a different subreddit by using the search icon at the bottom.

- The app currently gives a little screen lag when loading a reddit thread if there are lots of comments. So until Ive figured out a way to load the comments without the slow down, the number of comments you can view is capped at 100.

- You can change the order that is shown using the list icons. Changing from hot to new or to top, etc. By default the program loads whatever the reddit site shows when first entering a thread.

- The app loads images in app that are direct links. The app also supports the loading of imgur images in app. Also supports albums from imgur. Also supports animated images like gifs.

- You can pinch zoom the images and also rotate the phone into landscape, whereas the rest of the app is locked to portrait.

- The app automatically goes the image when loading a reddit thread.

- Pull to load on the subreddit to load the previous page or the next page.

Edit:

-Forgot to mention that clicking on the banner bar will take you to the subreddit named. Useful for going from a thread from /r/all to something else

-Also double clicking on images will resize the image so that the width matches the width of the screen. Saves some effort from zooming in to scroll left to right if its readable at screen width

Think thats all I wanted to say. I will attach some images for people to see and you can contact me on twitter: @articnova for any questions or suggestions.
