Could you scrape/pre-parse every article and comment on your own server, and then create your own better REST api for your app? One that doesn’t need as much parsing. Maybe you can even charge $ for access (for other apps)

Unfortunately not. Since my app allows voting, commenting, favouriting etc, doing that on my server side won’t be possible as I don’t have access to the user authentication cookies.
