I like the idea of saidit but does it has to be exactly like reddit in terms of looks

submitted by StrangersGoodBye from self.SaidIt

sorry if its asked often or anything but it sort of rubs me the wrong, you are mimicing the very thing you fight against, wouldnt there be better to have a better designe that doesnt look like reddit 100% atleast? also isn't there any risk of being taken down?

No risk of takedown, they open sourced this old shit code. Much fixings were done.

We don't view Reddit as the enemy, just new Reddit. We're a continuation of Aaron Swartz Reddit.

Anyway, pull requests are accepted. If anyone wants to improve the design have at it.

If we used /s/internet CSS sitewide, then /s/internet wouldn't be special.

    That's a bold design change that would have to have a pretty good supporting consensus in order to to be enabled by default. Having more of an actual profile including a pic sounds cool though.

      Yeah, pretty cool. Maybe post your screenshot to /s/IdeasForSaidit and see if people are into it.

        It was pretty much token open source. Par for the course.

        You could try nightmode to scrub the Redditfeel from your eyeballs, and then take a long moment to appreciate the lack of downvoting.

        Suddenly things seem different...and better...

        beauty is only skin deep. superficial differences wont matter in the long run..

        You can modify the css to your liking using an extension like Stylus (Firefox / Chrome).

        I've just recently joined and see almost every singly topic US related, save for the recent randy andy one. It's boring for the rest of us, so I, an English person living in Thailand am out of here. Let me know if it gets a tad more cosmopolitan. Tata.

        Well then post content you like... It's still a pretty small site compared to it's predecessor so you need to contribute.
