Indeed, it is based on reddit source! ('Powered by reddit') :-)

Still more usable and faster than actual Reddit.

There are alternatives, like reveddit. I think they all use the Pushshift API behinds the scenes.

It's great ! Are you using reddit api or screen scraping the site ? And What about copyright issues ?

kaushikfrnd • Dec 23, 2013 • View on HN

i had the same question in my mind . Even reddit have there official api .

aaronblohowiak • Sep 9, 2008 • View on HN

what about using open-source'd reddit?

grillvogel • May 20, 2016 • View on HN

reddit comments are a source now?

Thanks for your feedback, but what you're asking for Reddit doesn't provide in their API

I built redditsearch.io -- It uses the pushshift API for the back-end. It was thrown together and barely works but hey, I'm just one guy maintaining this as a labor of love. :)

Will this only work on ye actual reddit.com, or can you point it at a private install?
