Ruby Offers A Simple And Lightweight Way To Browse Reddit On iOS

If you'd rather not go blue as you use the excellent and advanced Alien Blue for browsing Reddit, then you might want to go red (or reddish) instead and check out the newly released Ruby for Reddit. Created by PanoPerfect developer HalfPeeled, Ruby is a decidedly simple and lightweight universal Reddit client for iOS. (Alien Blue has two separate editions: an iPhone version simply called Alien Blue and an iPad edition called Alien Blue for iPad, which, by the way, was updated just hours ago.) Oddly, Ruby does not feature a ruby or purplish-red color scheme. Rather, it sports a color scheme that is more orange than red. But no matter. You're going to want to use Ruby not for its partiality toward a certain pigment but for its set of key features. Fortunately, Ruby has quite a few of them:

Full screen mode
