I will be naming this software "tambbbbbb.............slime man".

I stayed up most of last night working on writing a Tumblr client from scratch in Ruby.

I know I'm just duplicating other people's work here! But I had the energy/focus for coding for once, and decided that re-learning Ruby via the process of making myself a personal Tumblr client was an appropriate expression of my frustration with life. Life and Tumblr.

Dreamwidth, please fix up and document your API, so I can make this thing work for crossposting eventually.

In the interests of helpful ticket filing beyond "fix up", what sorts of things are you looking for? One of the new devs was poking around in LJ::Protocol last night in pursuit of something gnarly with the reading page, and it's possible he might be bribeable.

There's no current documentation for the API anywhere - just links to the LJ one - and no code samples for working clients.
