Reddit Client

⚠️ Work in Progress!

Used as a playground to learn React Native.

Currently using anonymous Reddit API meaning user can browse content, but not interact with it (upvote, comment, post, etc.). Hoping to integrate the actual API at some point in the near future.

It's always changing, but here's what it looks like as of May 29:

Development

Requirements

# Install dependencies the first time
npm install

# Run the app
npm start

You can download the Expo client on your phone or use the XCode Simulator.

If you're using a Mac, I would also highly suggest the React Native Debugger.

Compatibility

It has only been tested on iOS (X series) so far, not sure how well it works on Android or other iPhones yet.

Features

  • Browse posts with infinite scrolling
  • Pull to refresh
  • Search and change subreddits
  • View images (needs more work)
    • Tapping thumbnail opens lightbox (double tap and pinch to zoom)
  • View external links
    • Tapping thumbnail opens web view
  • Tap post to view self post text
  • Dark/Light mode toggle
  • Changing post sorting
