Hey guys, so I’ve been working on a minimal, text-based Reddit alternative for the past few months, and I think it’s coming along nicely.

I’m calling it Nooki (name might change in the future). For now, it’s text-only posts. This could change if it takes off and people want to share images or other media.

It has most of the basic features of Reddit, and I’d love to get your feedback on the UI and any features you’d like to see added.

    I do plan on making it open-source once it’s a bit more polished and stable. Right now it’s still an early build, so I’m keeping things simple.

    As for “text-based”, I meant it in the sense of content type (text-only posts, no images/videos) that is just focused on minimal text posting/discussion.

      When I read “minimal” and “text-based”, I think of being able to type a post in a native text-editor like say vim and then send it to the server using a user-token and an ssh key using something lighter than git push.

      Having to start up a browser or a web-app does not really feel “minimal” and would be really hard on my IBM R52.
