Unofficial Reddit API (github.com)

I am making a Unofficial Reddit API, which mimics the official one.

Its early days, but I would like to have a discussion here about it since my post was blocked on reddit(of course).

Let me know what you think of the project, if you have any input, let me know.

It's a good initiative, but is it really worth at this time?

I am not entirely sure to be honest. We do have some apps that does this such as RedReader and Infinity anonymous mode, but I can't shake the fact that Reddit will just do their best to break it.

Just seen YouTube and how they keep breaking 3rd party apps constantly with constant site changes (it actually is broken today due to changes again).

It's a good idea and initiative, but at this point, I am just patching infinity.

Which YouTube app is broken now? Revanced still works fine for me.

And SmartTV or whatever is. Basically the same but for Android tv.
