This is so great. I just showed everyone at the office. I can look like I'm working while I'm reading Reddit.


Didn't showing them sort of sabotage your plan?


Thats the joke.


Also http://gumho.github.io/codehn for HN.

This is great!

Hey I recognize that name...you wrote Ant Planner, the tool that every UCI student uses to visualize their classes.

That was one of the first open source projects I ever contributed to (I wrote the integration with RateMyProfessor back in 2011). Thanks for your hard work!


Wow, this is actually my new favorite way of browsing HN.

Edit: Oh wait, no one will believe this... "/usr/lib/python2.7/..."


Nicely done!


Does this work in safari for anyone else? It only shows the first few lines then white page the rest.


Looks like Safari is blocking the CORS request to reddit.com.


Same here on iOS safari.


Wonderful. Now I just need to land a job as an actual programmer :(


How is that an issue for you? Seems to me like there are more jobs than programmers out there. Where are you located?


The market's pretty saturated with bootcamp grads right now. I get literally hundreds of responses every time I post an opening.


Surely the problem is that there are more jobs than skilled programmers out there? It's hard to get through the door the first time.


doesn't work in browsers that care about privacy


Is that a passive aggressive way of saying it requires javascript?


I had to disable tracking protection in firefox to see anything except the first three lines.


This is cute. Being able to switch languages is a nice touch although someone needs to fix the Python one line comments not to use the C style.


Cute. Not very readable, but cute.

Would be nice if they would let you change the pseudo language it's using - maybe even customize the colors locally.


Looks like it does. At the top in the third line you should see something like `$language = "php";`. Click `php` and it will select a new language for you.


Ahh nice! Hidden feature but that’s pretty nicely done.


Trying on Samsung S7, Chrome, I can't seem to figure out how to read the post. Comments is easy enough, but tap as I might I can't get any story to load.



Loading

Fun idea. The bundle size for the javascript is almost 700KB though, which seems widely excessive.


Very cool. How do you switch to a particular subreddit?


You can click on readme.php on the first line. To change subreddit change the url: http://codereddit.net/#/Bitcoin


I love this


Coder Eddit.

Love it


Nice, but is a waste of time


OMG, I just realized that the point of this is to allow people to read Reddit at work while, from a distance, it still looks like they are staring at code. IOW, the point _is_ wasting time.
