Tumblr.js is back!

Hello Tumblr—your friendly neighborhood Tumblr web developers here. It’s been a while!

Remember the official JavaScript client library for the Tumblr API? tumblr.js? Well, we’ve picked it up, brushed it off, and released a new version of tumblr.js for you.

Having an official JavaScript client library for the Tumblr API means that you can interact with Tumblr in wild and wonderful ways. And we know as well as anybody how important it is to foster that kind of creativity.

Moving forward, this kind of creativity is something we’re committed to supporting. We’d love to hear about how you’re using it to build cool stuff here on Tumblr!

Some highlights:

NPF post creation is now supported via the createPost method.

The bundled TypeScript type declarations have been vastly improved and are generated from source.

Some deprecated dependencies with known vulnerabilities have been removed.

Intrigued? Have a look at the changelog or read on for more details.

Migrating

v4 includes breaking changes, so if you’re ready to upgrade to from a previous release, there are a few things to keep in mind:

The callback API has been deprecated and is expected to be removed in a future version. Please migrate to the promise API.

There is no need to use returnPromises (the method or the option). A promise will be returned when no callback is provided.

createPost is a new method for NPF posts.

Legacy post creation methods have been deprecated.

createLegacyPost is a new method with the same behavior as createPost in previous versions (rename createPost to createLegacyPost to maintain existing behavior).

The legacy post creation helpers like createPhotoPost have been removed. Use createLegacyPost(blogName, { type: 'photo' }).

See the changelog for detailed release notes.

What’s in store for the future?

We'll continue to maintain tumblr.js, but we’d like to hear from you. What do you want? How can we provide the tools for you to continue making cool stuff that makes Tumblr great?

Let us know right here or file an issue on GitHub.

Some questions for you:

We’d like to improve types to make API methods easier to use. What methods are most important to you?

Are there API methods that you miss?

Tumblr.js is a Node.js library, would you use it in the browser to build web applications?

if whatever quackity is teasing IS in fact the qtranslate mod publicly releasing then I hope that they've found a affordable/free translation API for it to use now. it would make it a Lot more accessible

[chapinii]

personally I'd be so embarrassed if I attacked a server using a translator by gatekeeping the concept to one streamer only for said streamer to immediately announce a translation service explicitly for 'everyone' but that's just me

[gatorlovebot]

its taken me way too long to do it but i finally opened up a savings account lol big win of the day 🥳

new coding challenge

Software coding is a highly creative pursuit. But for the past few years, I've put most of my software effort into maintenance and troubleshooting. I've written *some* new code, of course, but a lot of that was for demos and tests. I'd begun thinking of myself as primarily a maintainer, not an innovator.

For the past 6 weeks, however, I've focused on writing a new open-source library from scratch. So far, it's 7,000 lines of Java and 5,000 lines of C++ (excluding blank lines and comments).

Sustaining 250+ lines per day is possible only because a lot of what I'm writing is boilerplate requiring scant creativity. At this point, the design is mostly set. The API is closely based on another project. The biggest challenge has been boredom.

That's why on 11 July (when Gradle v8.9 was released) I pounced on the opportunity to upgrade all my projects, even though it was boring, routine maintenance. At least it was a different flavor of boring.

I look forward to finishing this phase of the project and getting back to maintenance and troubleshooting.

uuuh also i just realized that you can edit tags now in the browser version??? like, you can edit them AFTER you type them and hit "enter"???? that is such a good update that i'm almost tempted to go back to using the browser version more often than the app. (almost.)

just found out that skycrypt is backed up occasionally on the wayback machine, so of course i went to go check techno's stuff. neat little thing i found, by april 9th 2021 he hadnt made it past thorn in dungeons. so he was cutting it CLOSE cramming in catacombs exp for the resistance fight jhdkjfj (turned out to be useless anyways)

also, judging by his exp gained, seems like he was only running with one other person. i was under the impression he had a full party the entire time bc of his video but that must've just been for later floors or maybe even JUST floor 7

and also. before the resistance fight. his highest crit damage was a WHOPPING... 82k

How #StarringJohnCho Changed Hollywood At a time where Hollywood was turning a blind eye to diversity, #StarringJohnCho challenged the notions of American casting. In 2017, Scarlett Johansson was cast as Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell, igniting major uproar. “The original film is set in Japan, and the major cast members are Japanese. So why would the American remake star a white actress?” William Yu, the creator of the movement, started posting his #StarringJohnCho creations on Twitter. Soon, the internet ran with it. The hashtag is flooded with brilliantly photoshopped movie posters that made John Cho the star lead. From action films such as The Avengers, to rom-coms like 500 Days of Summer, the renditioned posters showcased a new perspective on casting and pointed out the fatal flaws of the industry. From internet meme to global movement, #StarringJohnCho amplified the demand for Asian representation. "The timing of this campaign was so perfect, in the sense that Asian Americans were ready to assert themselves and the public at large was probably primed to accept the idea in a way they hadn't before." -John Cho "The campaign wasn't just about John, and it wasn't just about money. Yes, diverse films do better finacially and are better returns on investment. But it's also the case that great films and built around great characters [that also showcase our humanity.] Our passions. Our pains. Our dreams. All of us deserve to see our flaws and joys depicted on screen," said Yu. Which is your favorite #StarringJohnCho poster?

Sure wish I could report or block the way too personal slutshaming religious YouTube ads that show right at the very top of my home screen when I open my app

Elon Musk's Twitter takes a page out of WotC-Hasbro's playbook: Changing a long standing policy that a thriving third-party development community built itself around without warning, immediately sowing chaos in the lives of the people to whom twitter owes much of it relevance and popularity.

The only 'good thing' about Elon Musk's twitter's actions is that while they are deplorable, theyr at least unfortunately legal.

Unlike WotC-Hasbro's attempt at and subsequent pussy-footed walk-back from (after millions of dollars worth of backlash) attempting to revoke the designedly irrevokable and LEGALLY BINDING OGL 1.0a, twitter's terms of service and API are designedly permitted to be changed at any time, for any reason, with little to no notice: They represent what agreeing to the sort of 1.1 gaming liscense contract WotC-Hasbro executives tried to force upon 3rd party creators this december and early January.

The very real possibility of a complete, sudden, and utter ruination any livelihood you built upon the version of the policy you agree to as it's rugpulled out from under you with no explanation nor recourse.
