CodeReddit: Cover UI for Reddit at Work

If your need to get onto reddit is so strong that you have to do it at work and hide it, you have problems other than whether someone sees it over your shoulder.<p>If you get on reddit at work for work-related reasons, you should be fine - and if you won&#x27;t be, this isn&#x27;t going to help with the problems in your office.

There&#x27;s also <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gumho.github.io&#x2F;codehn" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gumho.github.io&#x2F;codehn</a> for Hacker News which is entirely client only.<p>Disclaimer: mine

Nifty idea, but really lacking 2 obvious features<p>1) Make a dark version. Who codes on white?<p>2) Remap H J K L to arrow keys

Has the term &quot;Boss Mode&quot; fallen out of favour?<p>I thought &quot;Cover UI&quot; was going to be Reddit reimagined as album or magazine covers.

Makes me again wish for a proper Emacs mode for Reddit (and HN; I&#x27;m thinking about writing it if I ever get out of current avalanche of commitments).<p>I&#x27;ve been IRCing from Emacs for many years; most of the people around look at my screen (and tiny font) and have no clue whatsoever about what I am doing. Sometimes the screen shows code, sometimes my notes or contents of a folder, other times an IRC or IM window, and it <i>all looks the same</i>.

I&#x27;m probably not going to use a site with &#x27;reddit&#x27; in the domain if I need to hide my traffic to reddit.

This is brilliant. I just love seeing creativity and outside-box thinking like this. Sure, it&#x27;s not going to solve world hunger or revolutionize mobile computing. But you know what? I don&#x27;t care. It&#x27;s fun, it&#x27;s whimsical. 10&#x2F;10, would click again.

This was hilarious. At first, i thought, why did someone bring me to a wrong link? They gave me js instead of the real link. Then I started reading the js and I was like this is hilarious. It is hilarious that I found a js code to be beautiful. this is good work!

I used to do disreputable web browsing in w3m. If you use a scary looking font like 6x13 and something like Solarized, no one stands close enough or cares enough to check.

Meh, your job must really suck if you have to do this.

The is very cute! Well executed too.<p>But if you&#x27;re banned from taking a reddit&#x2F;HN&#x2F;tumblr&#x2F;FB break at work, maybe it&#x27;s time to look for a job that values what you produce, not how you produce it.

Please make a dark version!

I&#x27;ve seen a similar concept before: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;4chancode.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;4chancode.org&#x2F;</a><p>I like this one more though, the code looks more realistic.

This was done for facebook at one of the FB Hackathon....

Blank screen on iOS with Purify anti-tracker installed<p>Hmmmm

can we get this in JS?

Is there a JavaScript version with a dark theme? (serious)

We need a version using my custom Monokai theme ASAP! ;)

Isn&#x27;t it easier to just use Lynx as a browser?

This would be a lot easier to read in Python.

Oh Hacker News, you have a delightful way of sucking the fun out of almost everything.

Love it!

You should definitely quit your job if browsing reddit makes you look worse than writing code in PHP.

I really detest Reddit tbh (to be honest). It is just a continuous circle jerk of the common denominator making jokes and puns to appeal to the common denominator. People keep saying &quot;that&#x27;s just the default subreddits, try other subreddits!&quot;. But the entire site is build on the premise of collecting karma and getting awarded for appealing to as many people as possible. How else can you do this than to post content which appeals to the common denominator?<p>It&#x27;s like people continuously patting themselves on their back for being so witty.<p>Having said that, if you are really so inclined to browse social media on your boss&#x27;s clock and instead of looking at the real deal you have to cover it up by pretending to be working - you should sort your priorities.
