Reddy is a Reddit client designed to satisfy the need for an open source, screenreader-accessible reddit client on Linux.
The fact that I (meatbag93) use a linux distribution as my main operating system was what initially inspired me to make this client. I have made a little prototype that is accessible on all 3 platforms that I made with wxpython. But I quickly learned that the Orca screenreader completely ignore's wx.listctrl, wx.treectrl, and a few other widgets. Clearly, there is a problem here.
I've migrated to the gtk+ GUI library to increase linux accessibility. Despite being cross-platform, GTK+ is only fully accessible on Linux. It was confirmed to be completely inaccessible on Windows last I checked, and I'm quite sure it's the same on Mac.
It's unfortunate, but Windows users already have excellent clients they can use, and I have a good feeling Mac users have the same.
I truly apologize to everyone else; Linux is and will always be the major focus of this project. I won't make any effort to support Windows or Mac unless gtk+ is somehow made natively accessible on these platforms.
REDDY_CLIENT_ID- put your reddit client ID there. If left out, it will default to Reddy's client ID (recommended).REDDY_CLIENT_SECRET- put your reddit client secret there. Do not set this if you are either using the default client ID or your client is not a web app or a personal script. Defaults to None (Reddy's official client is set as an installed app, so no secret is needed.)
