Installing

I did this ages ago, so I don't really remember.

1. Install gnome-common
2. Install the python3-arrow and python3-markdown
3. Install a SCSS compiler (eg. rubygem-sass on Fedora). This is very important because otherwise it will fail to build.

Then you can just install it like any usual program.

1. Download the source code (eg. git clone https://github.com/samdroid-apps/something-for-reddit; cd something-for-reddit)
2. ./autogen.sh
3. make
4. sudo make install

There is a .desktop file, but it is also reddit-is-gtk command

Please report the bugs or deficiencies that you find via Github Issues.
