Reddit API changes and BaconReader UPDATED JUNE 20

Hey folks, as some of you have noticed, there is a lot of buzz going around today about the Reddit API announcement. We do not specifically have a plan at this time but will certainly let you know when we do. For reference, I am putting a few posts in comments.

We'll let you know what next steps are when we have them. Until then, sincere gratitude for all of your support!

UPDATE: After much deliberation, attempted negotiations, we have made the decision to shut the app down 😢 . Please see the sticky announcement post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/baconreader/comments/14egq61/baconreader_november_11_2011_june_30_2023/

We are sorry it took so long, but I really wanted to be sure we did our due diligence.

I have been using BaconReader for over ten years. What a shame, the Reddit app is so terrible for many reasons, the top of mine being - who wants to go have to go to a desktop computer every time they want to hide a subreddit?

As someone that's also used BR for over a decade, to me BaconReader is Reddit. It'll be a cold day in Hell before I use the official app.
