As a long time Tumblr user, it's sad to see it's downfall.
I had hope that Automattic would change the content policies that brought the site down, but it seems that won't be the case.
But the fun isn't over just yet. I've launched Libr (https://librapp.com https://librapp.com) to replace Tumblr. It's an installable Progressive Web App, getting around app store rules (recall when the Apple app store banned Tumblr).
There's a few hundred users on there that have given me good feedback on improving Libr and it's starting to slowly take off, although I'm not in any hurry and I'm taking my time to make it awesome before turning on the floodgates.
- zrobotics 7y agoPlease fix your site- it breaks the back button. This looked interesting, but I immediately hate any site that breaks back-button functionality; and once I notice that I instantly assume either malicious intent or incompetence. I get that it's a PWA, but can't the welcome page just be a regular page?

- phreack 7y agoQuick tip, the sign up doesn't trim emails and validates them against some rule that fails on 'blah@blah.com '. I strongly suggest not validating emails except by simply trying to send one, it's the worst case to lose an user that's willing to register due to a corner case your regex missed.
