@joewilliams007 What about having a list of positive, neutral and negative reactions, and auto-voting based on that?

@c3r38r170 or sending the reaction as part of the comment, as another measure of backwards compatibility ;0

I would love if the app focused on interoperability and backwards compatibility with devRant, but only as one of the modules. That's in case devRant falls down completely, other subcommunities will work as usual within an app.
Extending on my previous concern, actually, I knew there was skyRant API. Thought it was some internal client API. I'm still unsure how to feel about self-hosted skyRant or yet another central server. xDDD -
@vintprox thats why the app is designed in such a way that if the sykAPI fails, you wont even notice 😉 (other than not being able to use it's features).

About skyRant. I really like what you're doing for establishing it as a third party app with the verify login thing. Technically there is no way for me to verify if the app I'm using is using that source code unless I built it myself, but still nice.
I do feel a bit odd about having additional data such as reactions on the skyRant platform. It's cool and all, but it degrades the experience for anyone not using skyRant. If I like someone's post with a ❤️ there is no guarantee that user will see it. Idk just some random thoughts, but very cool app! :)
