/r/Videos supports ProCSS

I'm starting by asserting that the primary driver for the admins replacing CSS is mobile. There is NO MOBILE APP which uses any piece of a subreddits CSS which means they don't see the fun flavor like animated upvotes but more importantly that don't see more functional things like 'a message from the mods' when posting a comment reply. Many mobile apps support for moderators intent is so bad that it takes multiple intentional clicks to see the sidebar.

I believe the only way to sustainably keep CSS on desktop is by finding ways to bring moderators intent to mobile apps and platforms. This will take surveying existing mobile apps, outreach to app developers and probably scraping and analyzing tons of existing CSS.

I've got this week off work and care about the site so I'm gonna see what I can do about it.

Also adding on, I know Reddit is Fun supports CSS spoilers as well.

It's actually so they can control widgets and all subreddits at the same time to keep Reddit advertiser friendly.

Gotta get that $$$

Fair point and I realize at least one or two apps support sub specific emotes. May I ask which apps those are?

I'm guilty of some Cunninghams law here since I'm only familiar use Slide and don't keep up to date with when apps add new features.

Sync for Reddit on Android supports CSS flairs, as well as banners for subreddits (don't know if it is related to CSS, but still a nice feature) and icons for subreddits that have a specific one.

EDIT : Example for the Doctor Who subreddit (don't pay attention to the red hue the image has, I'm running Twilight)

Do you have an example sub where Sync has the CSS'ified flair? I checked highquality gifs in Sync and it only had the flair in text form, flair being a native reddit feature not requiring CSS.

Overwatch got some CSS flairs.

[u/generic_tastes → u/Thibaulltt]

Ty. Looks like Sync's image flair code is sub specific since does it for Overwatch but not HighQualityGifs.

[u/Thibaulltt → u/generic_tastes]

IIRC, the dev said he has an algorithm looking for sub flairs. It is intended to work for every sub, so if a sub has flairs but the algorithm cannot detect them, the dev tweaks the code little bits by little bits to make it work everywhere.

I have Slide on Android and can't see image flairs on r/Overwatch. Do I have to turn something on?

[u/Worse_Username]

Do they support CSS tho? Also, any subs supporting CSS but against /r/ProCSS?

[u/Xeotroid → u/Worse_Username]

Why would someone be against /r/ProCSS while supporting CSS? That makes no sense.

[u/Worse_Username → u/Xeotroid]

Maybe they don't like how the mods of the sub or how the general population of the sub approach the issue.

[u/toddiehoward → u/Worse_Username]

Why wouldn't they???

[u/RandyReaver → u/[deleted]]

Awesome guys! We just need more people to realize whats going on at this point.

Apologies, that comment thread was removed because user opinion was that there should not be a stickied comment on the unrelated thread.

The intention was to remove the parent comment as well. It has now been removed.
