You should have access to the version of Tumblr that’s right for you. That’s why we make it easy for you to control what you see…and what you don’t. Keep specific content (like Shadow and Bone spoilers or TW posts) out of sight and out of mind with tag filters. Here’s how it works.

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! 😁

My brain is mush from watching this episode of midnight gospel.
