Yep.

The purpose of this post is more about the potential of no-code. Just trying to illustrate that it's possible to build a web app like Reddit using no-code.

The goal really isn't to build a new Reddit.


There is content, and a few people have added some since. It just loaded slow earlier because of the surge in traffic that I was ill prepared for. I've upgraded the site and it should work better now.


You probably need to log in. The landing screen is only a preview of what's in the app. You can interact with the app when you log in, and you can even log in as a test user.

Click login, go to the bottom of the login page, and click 'log in as test user'


This site is not optimised for mobile. Updated the site to reflect this. I built it for desktop viewing only


That was an issue based on the plan I was using in Bubble. I upgraded to a production plan which should work better now.


The Reggit site plan has been upgraded and should load a little faster now.

Also, I'm not technical so I am probably not the best equipped to answer technical comments.

Thanks for all the feedback, both positive and negative. This has been quite the experience.


Sorry for not clarifying earlier. This was built to be a web-first clone only. It does not work on mobile.


True, I've got some Bubble credits so I've upgraded the plan (for the short term only). Will see how that helps


It was working rather well until the traffic surge from HN. Added a capacity boost to the site so it loads now, but you're right it's rather slow. So you may have a point.

As far as an experiment though, it's good to know what the current limitations of no-code are. This was never meant to be anything serious. Just a learning opportunity.


> This was never meant to be anything serious.

Remember the Linux kernel was introduced to the world with pretty much those exact words.


Thank you! I appreciate the positive feedback :)


You're welcome.

I tried to view the video link but received an error. I posted the error contents in another post for you. I couldn't find a way to post a screenshot of the error bubble so I just posted all the text from the message.

I also think that while logged in as testuser I was able to upvote my own post. Is that allowed? Perhaps there are a few others also logged in as testuser and one of them upvoted it.

Anyway, I like this. With faster load times this could be as fun as Reddit used to be.
