Modern Reddit is a catch-22: too much good info to ignore, too much algorithm BS and attempts at behavior manipulation to tolerate.

Sheddit turns back the clock and gives you the old.reddit.com layout without login requirements, for free, forever. It re-renders modern Reddit into the efficient and readable layout you grew to love -- on the fly, in real time -- as you browse. It works on the page you already loaded. There are no API calls, no login, no account, and no server in the middle.

Currently expanding support to logged-in browsing (work in progress)

0.63.0 — replies and comments post in one press

Fixed (major): saving a reply or comment sent you to Reddit's own, almost blank page with the text re-typed into its box, and you had to press post again. Four separate misses caused it — the text read as missing before Reddit's editor showed it, the top-level box never opened, Reddit ignored a submit from its hidden composer, and replies to your own comments mistook Reddit's hidden edit box for the reply box. All four are fixed; replies now post from Sheddit's box in about a second.

0.62.1 — long posts open in full

Fixed: on a long text post Reddit had served collapsed (typically a revisit), "Read more" did nothing and the rest of the post was unreachable. Sheddit copied Reddit's button but not the code behind it; it now shows the whole text instead.
