REDDITOR_AUTH :: STEP_1

CONNECT REDDIT

Enter your Reddit app ID + secret first. Then we’ll send you to Reddit to log in with OAuth.

Shared app means everyone uses one Reddit app. Heavy usage can create a queue, but setup is easiest.
ADVANCED: USE MY OWN APP
You create a Reddit app and use your own client ID/secret. This avoids shared queues.
Format: <platform>:<app ID>:<version> (by /u/<reddit username>)
