Thank you, Mr. Bowie.

Big huge update to the iOS app today. Almost too many new features to list. Let’s list them:

New version number: 4.0

New icon: Feels good under your finger.

Create new secondary blogs: Whenever a blog idea strikes.

Submit to submission blogs: If they’re looking for posts, you can send ’em posts. 

Make video posts using a video URL: Your most-requested feature is now a reality. Copy, paste, and you’re done. 

Filter searches by post type: Just looking for photos? We’ll just show you photos. Just looking for chats? Sure. You can do that, too. 

Widget: One-finger access to what’s trending on Tumblr. (Some assembly required. It’s easy: 1. Swipe down from anywhere to open your widget screen; 2. Scroll down the bottom of the “Today” tab; 3. Tap “Edit,” then tap “Trending on Tumblr.” After that, you’re good. Good forever.)

More, more, more: Sticky search bar; Sticky avatars; Better iPad layout; Better GIF loading; Better errors, even. 

That’s not all, but that’s certainly enough for this space. Enjoy.

14 years old: I'm young but I know what I want. This isn't that hard, I'm all grown up already and have everything figured out.

17 years old: Well, this is a little harder than I thought. School is almost ending. What am I going to do with my life?

21 years old: What the fuck is going on? Where are my socks?

33 years old: *sips coffee* One wrong move and this could all go down in flames. Jesus Christ.

Spreading this blog's wings

I’m going to add another layer to this blog. Bugs and broken stuff are neat and all, but calling out bad app practices, design, and culture might actually help move some needles in our own small way.

Submissions are still open for everything on the table, and I’ll update the About page soon to lay this out with a little more detail.

Let’s have some fun.

Tumblr Search is Worthless

There, I said it. Tumblr staff please fix this. I'm asking nicely at the very least, if not maybe begging a little. You're owned by Yahoo! now so search should be pretty far up there on the old list of priorities, I would think?

Just added an article titled 'How To Stop Procrastinating' to my Instapaper queue. I'll get to it later.
