PostWarden is a relatively new app that makes managing multiple Tumblr sites, and Tumblr accounts, a breeze, with the added bonus of having a local backup.
Not being a coder, I couldn’t do anything with it, but this is exactly the idea that I’d been playing around in my head for the last few months. Well, not literally exactly; the UI is a little raw, for example. The version in my head also has searching, which is coming to PostWarden; phew, because Tumblr’s search is so broken that I have to resort to Google. I also want HTML export, so that every thing becomes a bunch of static files — theme, media, pages, and all — that I can just pick up and drop on a different server if I need to — maybe when SOPA/PIPA/ACTA kicks in and mows down Tumblr — and have a complete site ready to go.
(My imaginary app also doesn’t turn ' into ’, but that’s a fault of Tumblr and Markdown, so hey.)
Wasn’t thinking of putting that much attention on posting, because I thought the Tumblr website was just fine. I was thinking more along the lines of Tumblr Backup 2.0. Actually, I hope Tumblr works with Ayuso on this and rebrand it as Tumblr Backup; Marco Arment’s app has stopped working for me a long time ago.
