I want a Tumblr iPhone app that lets me…
- View the Dashboard in an iPhone-optimized layout. Unfortunately, I think only Tumblr staff can create this feature since they don’t expose Dashboard data through the API (which is a big mistake and the reason the Tumblr API hasn’t really taken off like Twitter’s in my opinion)
- Post photos directly from the iPhone camera or camera roll without having to send them to some weird email address.
- Post audio that I record live from my iPhone (ex. record a song at a concert or post a voicemail for my Tumblr followers while on vacation).
- Post video that I record from my iPhone (question: why are there no apps that let you record video - jailbroken phones had that functionality).
- Include an optional location message with each post from my iPhone (ie. append the post caption with “Sent via iPhone from <current location>” where the address links to a Google Map).
- View posts submitted by other Tumblr users from a location near me (based on the opt-in location sharing above)
Make it so, Lazyweb.
Seconded, with passion!
Moblogging on Tumblr was one of the things I was most excited for, when I got my iPhone. But, Tumblr has no app available and the email system is crude, at best. Everything Joe wrote is absolutely perfect, and in my opinion, would blow Twitter’s appeal (for me) right out of the water. C’mon guys! I love Tumblr. Make me love Tumblr.
I highly urge everyone reading to reblog this with their support.
