Rddt.tv - http://rddt.tv http://rddt.tv Reddit.tv was an app to watch videos posted to reddit but shut down back in January. Haven't been able to find a replacement that I liked, so I built my own. Made the videos full-screen by default and added extra stuff like support for Soundcloud embeds (so you could listen to music subreddits), a directory of video-posting subreddits, multireddits, keyboard shortcuts.

Wow, this is such an awesome idea! I'd never heard of Reddit.tv.

  Thanks, glad you like it! That seems to be the general case, a lot of people never knew about it. I used it just as much as the homepage and it was a great way to just sit back and absorb content.

Neat, now I can browse /r/listentothis and discover new music easily! Thanks for sharing this, I'll be using it today. :) UX idea: I'd make the subreddit list alphanumerical. I had to look through it a few times to find the subreddit I wanted. Another UX idea: If a video/soundcloud fails to load, is it possible to detect that the tab isn't playing audio (say after 10-15 seconds) and skip to the next item in the list?

  Awesome, thanks for the feedback! The subreddit list definitely needs some attention. The aim was to bucket them into categories, so I either need to flesh that out or sort them. Skipping media that doesn't load is doable. Some content won't play or advance automatically because a lack of an api to control the api (gifs, Liveleak, Basecamp, iTunes, spotify) but I didn't automatically filter them out because a lot of it is good content. Probably a good option to add to a settings page.

  Yea, my goal was to make something closer to the original reddit.tv ui. Also, in addition to youtube and vimeo, rddt.tv supports playback for content from soundcloud, instagram, vine, vidme, sendvid, streamable, dailymotion and a few others.
