Why isn’t there an open source Reddit app where I can use my own API key


If there was a personal app I could install on my phone locally, using and paying for my own API access, I wouldn’t mind so much about losing access to Apollo app.

Probably because it wont last for long. The key issue is Reddit is not profitable and they're being anal because they want to control the app and ads. If its a third party app then you can avoid the ads and it makes implementation difficult
