I am making a Unofficial Reddit API, which mimics the official one.

Its early days, but I would like to have a discussion here about it since my post was blocked on reddit(of course).

Let me know what you think of the project, if you have any input, let me know.

    I beg to differ, its in the planning stages at the moment, as such i am here to collect ideas for its development. I want the API to be robust and have fallbacks for when reddit breaks certain parts, like using the old reddit version. This is a big task, and it needs to be planned right.

      You are trying to do something many people really did before but had to stop, loosing their job for some of them…

      What make you thinks you can do better? If you have time, spent it on useful open source project instead on a dead horse like reddit…

      my 2 cents…
