Tumblr app for Android

Currently sucks. Well I wouldnt say it completely sucks but there are a lot of major annoyances with it that just make me search for tumblr on Android market. In fact lemme do a search now. Gimme a minute.

Ok so there is my tumblr which is pretty ok but still isn't good enough. I couldn't find my drafts. So what needs to be fixed with the official tumblr app?

Several things

First. Tags. I need to remember the tags I put. Cant I have auto complete?

Second. Layout. When I'm typing I want the post and cancel button to be hidden till I close keyboard. That or make it a rectangle. Or put some padding between it and the border next to the keyboard since I have more than once hit either button when typing really fast. Favour. Just hide it. One extra tap. In this case it won't kill.

Third. Check this out. Point one Point two Point three I'm expecting all of this to come out on one line looking really odd when in fact what I did was press enter and leave just one line. This app is so broken that if you hit enter once it doesn't insert the paragraph tags. I guess I could do that myself but really? No. I just want a new line.

Four. Super pain point. If you get a call while writing a post... you lose everything between your last save and that call. No this one is just unacceptable. I can't check a message without losing everything. State change save anyone? Please fix this

Five. The tweet system is I believe the tumblr default? Please change it anyway. It actually drops a preview of the entire post looking rather odd. What ought to be there? Title of blog: Title of post. Oh and I'd like to be able to prefix my own message to it.

Six. Facebook update. Wth? The title of a post isn't linked to the post. Preview of text and if you want to view post you have to click on the go to post link which is along the line of fb links, report, share, like and whatnot. No. No and no! Please give preview of post and a blooming READ MORE link to it. Geez. Basics.

Apart from this stuff... Keep it real because the app for tumblr currently has everything else... I think.

Ps. I really do think.. I added last two points two days after writing post. Yes. I queue the ideas :)

Blogger web app/native app for Android

Did you know the blogger for Android app currently doesn't reach out to everyone? Sucks I know. There is one pretty good app but I can think of several UI revamps it could use BADLY!

What I find amazing is that Google doesn't have their own web app yet for Blogger

So there be two alternatives. One would be to try and break in to the app market with a universally available app for Blogger. Suggestion would be to make it a fully fledged Blogging client with support for any blog that follows the standard protocol.

Second suggestion is to focus on Blogger and make a future proof mobile version of Blogger for web. Then if Google ever tries to beat it, well you can make it a complete blogging management tool online for most any type of blog.

There's also features of sharing across social networks and if you can afford servers then you can try and add a tumblr like publish on/queue feature to publish posts at a later time.

Video dub for Android

So today at work there was a power outage and during that time I was seated outside enjoying the sea breeze and I fell asleep. My friends had a bit of fun by recording me and adding a paper cap on my head while they were at it.

Besides the point. Did you know that there is no proper video dubbing software for android? That can be found easily that is.

Hmmm, I might build up on this idea later. I'm thinking there's room for a service which provides special sound effects and what not and a petty good editing tool set. But at the core would be very easy to use.
