A lightweight minimal reddit client

reddit-lite

Demo here

A lightweight, minimal, readonly Reddit client, designed for mobile devices or slow connections.

Running locally

Reddit-lite is written in play. Running a non distribution version requires sbt (which sucks btw).

git clone https://github.com/jamesbarnett91/reddit-lite && cd reddit-lite
mv conf/application.conf.sample conf/application.conf
sbt run

Alternatively, just use IntelliJ with the scala plugin and import the project.
