Check Out Biscuit, The iPad App That Makes Reddit Beautiful

We love Reddit, but design zealots will be quick to decry its appearance as a leftover artifact from Web 1.0. It's relatively minimalist, it's text-heavy, the comments are not organized intuitively, and it's just not "pretty" in the way that so many other sites nowadays are.

For example, the homepage:

If you want to consume all those delightful links and hilarious memes in a thoughtful and well-put-together environment, you need to look elsewhere. That's where an iPad app called Biscuit comes in.

Biscuit functions as something of a skin for Reddit. All the same content and functionality is there - you can upvote, downvote, submit links, and go about your general Reddit business, but you get to do so inside an aesthetically pleasing, sexed-up environment. Check it out.

Here's the front page of Reddit as it appears in Biscuit.

See? Nice and easy on the eyes! If you like the looks of this app, Biscuit is $3.99 and is available in the App Store right here.
