Tumblr is imho still the best blogging platform. Wonderful posting experience on mobile. Great API. Actively development. Great inspiration (scroll through vintage photos, art, music, funny stuff and nudes on one dashboard). The only thing that sucks is that public blogs are hidden behind that cookie consent wall. For that I built my blog with php and just query their API. Works well!

I still lament the days before Tumblr got rid of RSS feed imports. I know why that happened (spam), but it was so nice to be able to help build kind of a curated feed of activity from all over.

But I agree that Tumblr remains a gem. I’m glad Automattic bought it and agreed to continue to support its staff and development.
