Ever wanted a focused way to catch up on the latest from the /r/WebDev community without the distractions of the full Reddit site? I built this simple Reddit Client to do just that! It serves as a clean interface to browse recent posts from one of my favorite subreddits.

This frontend application uses React to build the user interface and Redux Toolkit for efficient state management. It fetches data directly from the Reddit JSON API, specifically targeting the /r/WebDev subreddit, and renders the posts in a straightforward list.

Building this was a great practical exercise in:

  • Fetching and handling data from a third-party API.
  • Managing application state effectively using Redux Toolkit slices and actions.
  • Structuring a React application with components.
  • Deploying a React application (hosted on Netlify).

You can check out the live version hosted on Netlify or dive into the source code on GitHub to see how it’s put together using React, Redux Toolkit, and standard web technologies.
