@electrineer https://devrant.com/api/devrant/...
well they never implemented i think. but i have added that feature to skyRant android client -
@electrineer gotta ask jonas for that. can't find it anymore. annyhow to some extend maybe i was also ++ it because i saw jonas from 5 years ago :D

j0n4s53102y@Lensflare oh lol he seems to chill so much on this platform that he still was the first one haha

@joewilliams007 this endpoint should return a list of random rants instead of just one, so that we can build a whole feed of random rants, similar to what the Algo sorting spits out, but with less bugs.
-
@Lensflare exactly.. and the one rant that it returns doesnt even come with comments -.-.
i just have a btn that when you tap it shows you another random rant.
something like a tiktok swipe view could be an idea too though. making you swipe sidewheres and requesting the next surprise before you even get to that point.
it's just a bit sad that all these good rants get to never be seen anymore the way it is :[ -
This isn't necessarily a weird thing?
Sometimes you Google for a topic- find that the best result is some forum post - don't even notice the date but since it was at the top of the Google results it seems relevant and other people will likely find it in the future as well.
I once replied to some forum post with the best guide around for some game, added to it, saw it was ancient and that I got a reply like "this is X years old, are you mad?" but during years to come I got more comments as others also seemingly found that post through searches.
@joewilliams007 liked a 5 year old comment of mine. You okay?
