    Just what I was looking for to (re)start a blog like my tumblr was before it became what is now… But, some points to get it better, in my opinion: -The logo is… awful. -The design is not the best… like someone said already, tumblr is used mostly by artsy people (like me), and having an appealing design is a must. Doesn’t need to be a complicated or ellaborated design, just more pretty. The tumblr design in this case is really good, put the things in the center… maybe follow some of the rules of the tumblr or even Mastodon design, so people are familiar with it and get a felling to join. -This I hope is to edit my microblog the way I was used to do in tumblr, use the themes and all. If you can do this, would be awesome!

    Well, this from someone that’s still waiting the approval to join, so those are my first impressions. I’m hopeful this becomes the “new tumblr” in the fediverse, because the fediverse artists need something like this (share personal and others ‘art’ or other general stuff, customise their blogs, well, everything tumblr used to be…

    Thank you for creating this! :)

    Didn’t Tumblr announce ActivityPub support last month? They still have yet to implement it, so I guess you already beat them to that.

      they announced it more than a year ago, but tumblr now is on a skeleton crew. and no, I do not mean gay zombie pirates, I mean just a few of devs. AP is something hard, Ive done it my way but it would not scale to a tumblr scale.

      Also, they have to add a lot of stuff to the interface

    Went to check out the source code for the front-end and see if there was anything I could help out with… Saw it was made with Angular.

    oh no

    (Congrats on integrating Fedi into it!)
