It's That Time Of The Year.

Tumblr Hack Day, December 2021 Edition

It was Hack Day once again at Tumblr! A couple of times per year we grind everything to a halt and spend 24 hours working on whatever we want and see how far we can get with our hacks. Here are some of the projects that got made for Hack Day! Some of these things you may end up seeing on the site…

Twitch Embeds

Wesley hacked together the ability to post Twitch streams to Tumblr! These can be live streams or clips.

Tumblr to Discord

@cyle put together a very simple webhook integration between Tumblr and Discord so you can send events about your blog to a Discord server:

Custom Tumblr logos on mobile

@mlu, @dakotairene, and friends hacked together the ability for us to put custom Tumblr logos in the mobile apps’ dashboard tab bar, like we do on the web!

Tumblr Time Machine

Lucila constructed an elaborate Tumblr Time Machine, so you can filter search results to a specific year:

Stay tuned to the @changes blog to see if any of these hacks make it on Tumblr for real!

Tumblr Blaze is very good because tumblr correctly deduced that if they ran a real advertising service using targeted demographics we’d have burnt this site to the ground, but ALSO correctly deduced that we would be overjoyed to collectively pay large amounts of money to spread shitposts onto completely random dashes in a delighted flurry of slightly malicious mischief. You really do gotta hand it to em on this one, A+ problem solving.

This Tumblr android app is dope 😎

here's a sneak peek at 3 Body Problem, coming to Netflix 2024. #GeekedWeek

Last hellsite standing

STAR WARS APPRECIATION WEEK Day 1: favourite movie

Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. ― Star Wars: A New Hope (1977)

hey it was actually really funny that blazing other peoples posts came out on 4/20 and no one has mentioned that. good job staff thank you staff

Next Sunday that title is mine!

Our guild managed to get the Immortal last night! No one died even though things were getting pretty scary towards the end. @rangerzath got mind controlled toward the end on their DK... who almost murdered a few people and was subsequently almost murdered by our druids on accident as they tried to cyclone.

Felt like a long time coming!
