Tumblr iPhone 1.1 Sneak Peek!
It’s been submitted to the App Store and should be live this week! Here’s a preview from its wonderful developer, Jeff Rock:
- Video posts. Choose from your camera roll or capture a new video right from the app (iPhone 3GS only).
- Native editing. Need to add tags or update a post on the go? Just tap the ‘edit’ button on a post in the Dashboard to load it up in a native post editor.
- Search. Supports searching across Tumblr, in your Dashboard or on just your posts.
- Built-in web browser. No more losing your place when you tap a link in Dashboard. Now a web browser will pop up and let you investigate the interwebs.
- Post upload status. Never wonder how long it’s going to take that Audio post to upload again.
- Post geotagging. Even I’m not sure what this is for, but I’m sure that it’s going to be awesome.
- Rewritten Dashboard tab (replaces the Sites tab). See all your posts from each of your blogs, including drafts and queues.
- Rewritten Advanced Post Options. New support for Save as draft, Add to Queue, Publish on, Custom post URL’s, Send to Twitter and Ask a question.
- Dashboard now only reloads on command. Not every time you tap the tab. Sorry about that one :P
- Better quality photo posts. Photos are now sent with less compression.
- New bookmarklet format for links. More info coming once 1.1 goes live.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where a post that has been saved for later can become corrupted.
- Fixed a bug where Photo posts can cause crashes.
- Fixed memory leaks.
There’s even more, but most of it is stuff you won’t see. Much of the core of the application was rewired, re-factored, re-plumbed, simplified and enhanced. The end result being a snappier, more flexible code base that’s ready for all the stuff coming in 1.2 and beyond.
We’ll let you know once it goes live on the App Store!
Whoa.
After more than 200 worldwide meetups, we wanted to help make them easier to find and organize. Check out the new Tumblr Meetups page, where we’ll be tracking upcoming meetups. Organize your own and get a free Meetup Kit in the mail!
Now testing: “Read More” breaks
Inserting a break will truncate your post so readers need to click “Read More” to view it in its entirety.
Themes can even style them using the new
{block:More}tag!{block:More} <a href="{Permalink}" class="big_ass_button">Read More</a> {/block:More}You can add a break with the plain text and Markdown editors with the simple tag:
<!-- more -->These are only available in Text Posts at the moment.
