Readdit

An incomplete open source and interesting take on an iPad client for reddit.

It is licensed under the Apache Software License Version 2.0.

I am accepting pull requests. If the client ever comes to a complete state I will releaes it for free on the App Store under the AlterTap account. No profits will be made by me. This is entirely a community effort.

Building it:

It's really simple. You just need Xcode. Clone the repository somewhere and, open Readdit/Readdit.xcodeproj and run in the simulator to get started quickly.

What does it do? (so far)

Fully integrated with your reddit account. Subscribe and unsubscribe from reddits. (tap the magnifying glass on the subreddits listing)
"Pile" which is sort of like opening an interesting link in a background tab. It will save and pre-cache your links in a in the background for later viewing. Swipe over an item in the list to put it in the pile.
"Magazine" which is sort of like an endlessly scrolling wall of images that link to reddit stories. Great for viewing photograph-heavy reddits.

What does it need?

Discussion for the development of this client will occur on our own subreddit here:

Here are some ideas to get started with:

"Magazine" needs a code refresh. It's a bit craggy and there are some decent open source grid views that can be used now. It's currently a sideways table view (hah!)
Comments! One of the best thing about reddit and it's not here!
Profile interface for users. It would be neat to be able to view an overview of a user in the app.
An interesting way to put things in the pile. For instance, a drawer could slide out from underneath the item list on swipe, the item drops into the drawer then it closes. Just an idea.
iPhone version. This is iOS, and it could be easily ported to work fine on the iPhone.
Bug fixes, plugging memory leaks, and general polish.
Whatever you want! It's bloody open source.

Here is what it looks like:
