    I’ve now been tricked twice into breaking my Reddit boycott just to check and see if Infinity still works or not, and it still does.

    Maybe Infinity just has enough fewer users than something like Apollo that Infinity hasn’t reached the request limit to where it’s been shut off yet.

    (I don’t actually mean I was tricked. ;) )

        I meant that I loaded up Infinity specifically to check and see if Infinity still worked or not. Not to access any particular Reddit content. But Infinity still worked for me after I first saw this thread.

        Edit: Ah, and I just realized I might have misunderstood you, not the other way around. Sorry about that.

      From what i heard recently, infinity is going to be subscribtion based from now on… so probably devs didnt stop app from working but are yet to implement subsciption

        Interesting. I’m not sure how that works with an Open Source app. Will the API key be in the source repo? Will there be a server that Infinity routes through that adds the API key to the request? Will future versions of Infinity be proprietary? I’ll probably look into it at some point.

      Infinity probably managed to cut a deal with Reddit like the Narwhal dev did. Meaning that while they’re working on their new subscription-only price model, they still have access to the API for free.

      To my knowledge, they’re the only two apps that will try to work with the new API policy.
