3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st (www.reddit.com)

Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

Infinity is still working too.

@Rohbtc Fun fact: There's an app in the works that looks exactly like Infinity with the difference that this one works with Lemmy and Kbin.

Is called Beyond and soon will be releasing. It's being developed by @brunofin.

Relay is also still working and the developer (dBrandy) plans a subscription model

dBrady* although dBrandy sounds very amusing.

I doubt any of these third party apps are going to recoup the named API cost with so many people fleeing reddit. Seems like a big gamble to me. Maybe Relay re-negotiated the price.

I wonder if they just high balled, expecting app creators to negotiate them down instead of taking the offer public and burning things to the ground.

RedReader was still working, but then again I don't think the app developer planned on shutting it down on July 1st.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, RedReader is one of the apps that had an accessibility exemption due to it being so good with its accessibility features. The official Reddit app doesn't have those features, so Reddit knew they would get sued if they didn't allow some 3rd party apps to fill in that need.

This is very strange.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Uh... Addendum... Why TF is RIF suddenly working again?

I can't log in, but I can see unauthed content

I also still have access with synced after patching it in ReVanced manager. The official app unfortunately died :(
