I wanted a way to browse the AskHistorians subreddit on my phone without using the reddit app or website. It also bugged me to have all this valuable information on a site that might make it disappear on a whim.
So, I present to you the AskHistorians Archive. It allows you to browse past submissions to the subreddit, it’s ad-free, works on mobile, loads fast, and works without JS.
For now, it only contains some of the most recent posts up until 2022-12-31, but I’m planning to upload more over time.
I hope this is useful to some - happy to hear and implement any feedback!
Getting the wiki in there might be possible by scraping, but it’s a lot of work and tricky to do - right now I only have the posts and comments available.
I’ll build upvote sorting soon :)
