Thanks to a helpful anon who pointed us towards plumfund, we have a fundraiser for the Safari Addon Store fee! There’s a minimum donation of $5 which I can’t seem to remove, but other than that this should work.
There’s currently a bug going around which injects weird numbers and symbols in the middle of texts. This is a bug caused by a recent update of Tumblr, and we are unsure whether this is XKit-related or Tumblr-related, seeing we’ve had reports of older, non-edited posts being affected as well. We’re currently looking into this.
In an effort to be more organized and transparent, we’ve started using a project management tool called Waffle. On our page, you can view at a glance who’s working on what, which pull requests are under review, and which issues are in our backlog.
If you’re curious about what we’re doing, feel free to take a look!
We’ve had some reports regarding a bug currently manifesting in various ways on Tumblr, causing new posts (and some old ones) to display with special characters improperly encoded. We are aware of the issue and have tentatively identified it as rooted in a problem on Tumblr’s side; we’re keeping an eye on it and speculating on a long-term fix if it isn’t resolved soon.
Please see https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/issues/346 for ongoing discussion regarding these issues, as well as https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/issues/100 which may potentially be related.
Thanks!
We now have a live support channel up for you. If you go to the Support blog and click on the “Live support” link (or just click here), you can punch in a username and get instant support from whichever developers are online at the time!
We’re splitting this blog into three (3) blogs to hopefully better manage the sheer volume of asks we get. The blogs are:
Just to keep everything sane, you can send questions about the blog structure to new-xkit-extension, or reply to this post.
I was going to make a comment about those just tuning in, but Tumblr just put my cursor at the far left of my screen like that was a normal place to enter text, and then tried to make the entire textbox a link to the gif source. Staff better fix this.
Thank you Tumblr. That is definitely what I wanted to happen when I went to edit my post. It’s not like I wanted working markdown or anything silly like that.

p>In other COMPLETELY UNRELATED news, editing (markdown?) posts is broken for the moment.
Tumblr has changed the rules of its rich text editor to disallow nested blockquotes. This is NOT caused by Editable Reblogs. We were just made aware of this, and are working on it. In the mean time, the HTML and Markdown editors work fine.
It’s been almost a month since the last week in review, which means that this is a woefully incomplete list of only some of the new changes. Without further ado, things that have changed.
