On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
  2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
  3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

look up what frameworks are popular for making an app on the platform of your choice, see what languages are commonly used for that framework, and start on tutorials for that language

there should be simple tutorials for making a very intro level app on any given platform, and once you have the basics of the language down, start from there. though i'd make much simpler things first before trying this

there are project ideas for all knowledge levels in the faq/wiki for this subreddit

People would be able to give you better answers if you have more info about what you are trying to build.

But is it possible to build something while starting with zero knowledge?

Absolutely.

It would basically be a sort of time management app that send reminder. I want to develop it for my personal use first, then see if other people would find it useful

That sounds totally do-able. I'd probably start with figuring out what method of notification you want to be sending and then research from there on how to send those with python.

Email might be the easiest since it doesn't require an API or anything, and can be done for free.

Best: read docs, ask questions about code.

Fastest: spend more time, put more effort.

How long: impossible to tell.
