Way back in the day I knew the guy who made a similar website called GifWithSauce. The concept being an entire endlessly scrolling site where NSFW gif posts with a validated source or "sauce" as users call it in the comments would be posted to his site.

Wonderful and cathartic to see someone else carrying on the torch for the mobile age!

So since you're using Netlify I think the best way to make this dyanmic (since I believe it's currently using hardcoded links) is to set up a serverless function your web app can call to get an up-to-date and possibly more randomly selected list.

Yes, I guess AWS lamba is good?

also, currently I"m directly fetching the GIFs from reddit's API

Doesn't work in Safari.

Sorry about that. I do not have an iPhone, will try to get one and fix it asap.

iPhones don’t support WebMs natively

Preemptively gonna say that your site is likely going to receive the HN tug of death.

Lol, I'll be glad. But I doubt that would happen.

It's actually a server-less app. So no crash 8)

any details about how it works? having a look into the source code would be interesting ;)

nice. I have a similar project that I use for memes, but you could change the code for the subs you like (hint hint)
