Do you mean a way to have the Reddit app render content from some generic social media provider, while keeping the UI? I haven't thought about that yet. I'm sure it would be possible, but that would require tearing out a lot of backend code and replacing it 1:1. Most of my work has been on the network side of the app, and not much modification; just introspection and inspecting behavior.

My main question: why, do you like the UI? I honestly really hate the reddit app, I haven't seriously used it for browsing since I fixed up Libreddit into Redlib :)

I don't like the Reddit app personally but I also do like something a bit more dynamic than what Redlib offers. Personally I'm fine with JS on the frontend and frameworks like React as long as they're implemented well.

I'd also just like to play around with different styles of frontend just as a way to hack on things.
