Editable Reblogs 2.0

In response to Tumblr’s formatting updates, we have made some modifications to EditableReblogs to allow continued editing of content above your additions to a post.

PLEASE NOTE!!! This extension does NOT modify how posts appear on the dash. They will still appear in the new layout; this change only affects what you can do with previous posts in the editor. We will probably be adding a separate feature to change how posts display on the dash, if desired, but that is beyond the scope of this update.

As always, we will be standing vigilant for any further developments on how this update works in the coming days. Feel free to bring questions or comments to our support chat, support blog askbox, or GitHub issues list.

XKit for Mobile: Sort Of™

We just updated XKit to have very minimal functionality on Tumblr’s mobile site. This means that Firefox for Android users (and hopefully Safari for iOS users once we get that funded) can add XKit extensions and use a couple features.

Word of warning: the extension browser is still formatted for desktop and therefore a pain in the ass to use. It should be painful but functional, at least until we redesign it for mobile. Consider this a very early Beta until the dust settles.

Features we know work:

  • Wrap tags (in Tweaks)
  • Anti-Capitalism
  • Remove mobile app banner (new mobile-only option in Tweaks)

Features we know don’t work:

  • Anything that adds extra buttons at the bottom of posts (Post Archiver, etc.)
  • Timestamps
  • Anything that alters the post window (Editable Reblogs, View My Tags, etc.)
  • Anything that requires the sidebar to work properly

Everything else you may want to try comes under a common sense disclamer. We haven’t removed the option to install things that don’t work yet, so don’t download Tags on Sidebar and expect things to work on mobile where the sidebar isn’t even a thing. Things that cause horrible breakage should be reported to new-xkit-support.

Safari Addon Store Fund

The New XKit Team would like to support Safari, but The Man is getting us down. We need $100 to pay the addon store fee to begin developing. (If you see a goal date, ignore it. It means nothing.)

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.

About the Text Encoding Issue

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!
