Looks like it doesn't work anymore, but at one point someone styled reddit to look like you were reading a Word document: https://pcottle.github.io/MSWorddit/

This reminds me of https://netflixhangouts.com/
I once did a stealth chat client.
In emission mode, it logs keystrokes and sends them as messages.
In reception mode, it autotypes the replies.
The idea was that you can open your usual work editor (word processor, IDE, spreadsheet, ...) and use it as a chat client.
It was more like a proof of concept, it didn't work that great and wasn't really useful. Also such a tool is likely to trigger all kinds of alerts in antivirus software, for good reasons.

There is also https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv which lets you browse reddit from a terminal

And of course http://codereddit.com!
Which is unfortunately not maintained anymore: https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv/issues/696
`rtv` is now `tuir` [0].
Looks like the site depends on yql which was sunset on Jan. 3rd, 2019: https://twitter.com/ydn/status/1079785891558653952?lang=en
similar but styled as code: http://codereddit.com/
