Goodnight sweet prince. Buying golden platinum was the best investment I've made in any software. I wish I could see how many hours I spent on it.
Thank you talklittle for your amazing work on that app. I would consider myself lucky to be able to buy golden platinum in whatever you next develop. I'll watch your career with interest.
12 years multiple hours per day.... I don't want to know the total!
It's so hard not to open rif as soon as I unlock my phone.
Open the app this morning in over two weeks. It was still showing Reddit. I wasn't login wondering if I could? Any reason why it still works?
No one knows. Reddit is fun has been working fine just no logging in. I guess Reddit messed up somewhere and will probably deny API access soon.
It has to do with how it uses the OAuth token.

I put Connect where RIF was. Tragic and a little enabling, but it works
