DID YOU KNOW the characters in @Netflix’s western revenge tale #TheHarderTheyFall were based on actual figures from the old west? 🤠 👆 Check out this original art by Tumblr Creatr Nyanza D. based on the IRL Rufus Buck! Rufus Buck, the son of a Black woman and a Muscogee (Creek Indian) man, wasted no time jumping into his vocation as an outlaw. He was just 18 when he led his five-person gang of young Black and Indigenous gunslingers on a 13-day violent crime spree. His goal was to trigger an uprising and reclaim the parts of Indian Territory that later became Oklahoma and Arkansas for the native people who had lived there for centuries. Ultimately unsuccessful and arrested for his crimes on 1895, the young outlaw was hanged a year later at Fort Smith in Arkansas.

WWDC21 and Tumblr… Recap!

By: Praveen Nagaraj

This year’s WWDC focused a lot on bringing improved experiences across iOS and macOS rather than adding a whole lot of new features. 👏

There was a lot of focus on making apps more inclusive and designing for accessibility. ♿️

Here is a summary of all the improvements I think Tumblr can make to its iOS app to improve the user experience! 🎈

1. Better support for larger screen sizes 🖥

This year, Apple improved upon the multitasking experience for the iPad.

Tumblr’s support for large screen sizes is rather poor 😔. The current approach is to include large white spaces on either side of the feed to compensate for the large screen size. The implementation is also rather inconsistent, as many places still have full width views.

Places like the post editor ✍️ on the iPad are full width, and do not represent how the post will look like when published. Paragraphs look more like a single sentence. This is one example of where better optimization for the larger screen will benefit the user experience.

It would be better if Tumblr could implement some sort of sidebar or complementary content to the side of the feed, to take advantage of the iPad’s larger screen size. Being a media-centric 🌄 platform, this would greatly improve the user experience.

2. Support for Quick Note ✏️

This year, Quick Notes were introduced to allow a user to quickly bring up a sticky note like user interface to make a note. 📝

Many use Tumblr for scrolling through fashion 👗 and decor inspiration. I personally know friends that use apps like Pinterest and Tumblr to search for inspiration, while jotting notes on the side.

Support for Quick Notes will allow Tumblr to show thumbnails of previously jotted Quick Notes for a specific post, when revisited. This will help users that use the app for this purpose quickly re-gather their thoughts 💭 .

3. Support for widgets 👀

This year’s updated support for more intelligent 🧠 widgets showed the importance of providing at least a few widget options to users.

Tumblr is filled with beautiful images in its posts. The iOS 14 widget craze showed how users love customizing their springboard.

By making widgets that show suggestions, trending posts, etc., it would be a great way to encourage more engagement on the app. It is also a better way to get the user’s attention.

4. Support for keyboard navigation ⌨️

One of the key focuses this year was on improving accessibility to our apps. ♿️

Supporting keyboard based navigation in our apps allow users that cannot easily access the touch screen to use the app.

There are special bluetooth input devices that these users can use to navigate through the app, if we support keyboard based navigation.

Conclusion

It was a great WWDC 🚀 , and it was definitely really fun taking a deep look at Tumblr’s iOS app and thinking about how to improve it! 😁

You know was going to go there once it went all black.

The Gif Set

The gif set is one of Tumblr’s most renowned native flora. Its essential orderly cellular structure, each gif divided from the other by a neat strip of white space, is unmistakable.

Prior to the emergence of the gif set, Tumblr users were restricted to one image per post. Hard to imagine now!

Once unbound, creativity reached an apex. Able to capture fleeting moments and showcase them in alignment, the linear strictures of digital video were broken down. Gif-makers built a craft out of beautifying and arranging their instances of choice.

This is a prime example of Tumblr’s unique and irreplaceable ecology. Where else can one access the nearly limitless possibilities a gif set provides?

Images in motion propagate widely without any limits in many many places, but only on Tumblr are they able to all be viewed at once, in full. This simultaneity-simulacrum, silent but evocative—I believe it to be a pillar of Tumblr’s continued survival.

The future begins with her
