Right arrow key doesn't do anything on Firefox. Sometimes the image is blank and only shows when you press back. Keep clicking next and it'll say "error loading page"
If you spam the "next image", weird things happen. i.e. clicking on change channels will redirect back to the current image.

Thanks for the feedback! Need to turn off Django debug mode and fix that pesky right arrow key. It doesn't seem to work if the browser or window loses focus.
Thanks man, glad you like! I have a background process running that should fill out all of the categories within a couple of hours. It's on cron so it will update the site with new stuff every hour or so. Please come back tomorrow or the day after and let me know what your think. Thanks!!!! :)
Really well designed and nicely done :D. My only comment about it is that every time I reload the site, it shows me the same images in the same order. Need to randomize it up a little bit.
Agree. There is a channels button to the top right, you can select which subreddits you want images from and also how to order the images. But good idea, I need to add a show random images option.
I really like the design. It looks great.
Just one issue. The "Next" and "Previous" buttons are inconveniently placed. They should be placed near the picture. I recommend putting them on the sides of the picture, in the center, similar to how facebook does it.
Thanks man :D! It's definitely not ready for prime time, I still need to fix a bunch of small details and fill the database with more image links. One more week and I'll let my baby out in the wild.
Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of reddpics.com, I kinda created this in a vacuum for myself without really investigating what was out there. Will look at reddpics more closely.
Just pushed out a new version, added link to original post on Reddit below image title. Fixed typo on main index page. Thanks for all your comments and feedback!
Looking at it from an iPhone. Sadly it's not usable. No images can be seen in portrait or landscape mode. Just people's comments. A lot of the text extends past the borders of the screen and there's no way to scale the screen.
:(, I will make version 1.0.1 fit an iphone screen. Promise! I actually have a prototype already using responsive web design, unfortunately the icons look blurry. Need to upscale them so that they look better.
Fun to play with. Have to question the content though, so far it's been random gifs and screenshots of 4chan talking about menstruation... Can we filter the subreddits to something a little more mature? Perhaps the various *porn subreddits (nature porn, history porn, etc).
Got as far as Skrillex and it bombed. Refreshed the page and went through the same stack of pictures again. I think it would be more useful if 'random' pictures were actually random. And also if it were possible to view more than 10 pictures. Overall, I appreciate the effort and it was something useful that I enjoyed.

Uncheck everything and check only gonewild in channels, then save the settings and you get redirected to http://www.flipmeme.com/image/None
Other than that, very cool site.
Great site, I can see myself hitting the right arrow key for hours on end :)
btw,
> FlipMeme let's you browse images posted on Imgur & Reddit
Should be "Lets", no apostrophe. Being a reddit oriented site, gotta take more care. Else the grammar nazis gonna get y'all.
Thanks for catching that typo BTW.
Though I usually use http://reddpics.com/ to browse, hum, some subreddits I'm not subscibed to because the content doesn't mix with open space.
Edit: No sooner did I go back and refresh, there were links on the posts. Awesome work.
Much better without the rage comics and whatnot.
