    I believe Reddit’s code was open sourced for a period of time, maybe that’s this looks identical.

      Every web frontend is source-available. You can do some obfuscation sure, but it’s always possible to just grab the computed style properties when the document finished rendering.

        Well yeah, but I imagine being able to look at Reddit’s back end code might have helped make sure it behaves identically to the real thing.
