Tumblr Hack Week, September 2023 Edition

Once again it was Hack Week (more than just a day!) at Tumblr! A couple of times per year we slow down our normal work and spend a week working on scratching a personal itch or features we want as user and see how far we can get with our hacks. One thing from the last Hack Day in March made it all the way to production: redesigning how direct messaging looks on Tumblr! Pretty cool!

Here are some of the projects that got made for this most recent Hack Week in September. Some of these things you may also end up seeing on the site…

Tumblr Patio

Maybe this will look familiar to you, but we love this idea of being able to organize Tumblr feeds into many “columns” side-by-side, creating a very dense but lively view of Tumblr. Lenny, Kelly, and Paul hacked this together, and we’re pretty excited to see where it’ll go. Each column can be a different feed on Tumblr, like For You, Following, your Activity, a specific blog, a search, Trending, even a Collection, so many possibilities!

Tumblr Booths

Meanwhile, a separate team of @autoplanes, Katie, @lex, Shaun, and Eve dug into the idea of selling digital and physical goods through blogs on Tumblr, leveraging our sibling platform WooCommerce! Blogs could put whatever they’d like for sale here, and have a dedicated space for it. We know there are so many amazing artists and artisans here who could use this to more easily sell their creations on Tumblr!

Avatar Frames/Hats

This one is a golden oldie, it keeps coming back hack day after hack day, and each time it gets even better. Santi and Maxime hacked together some example avatar “frames” and “hats” that folks on Tumblr could purchase for their blog. Maybe eventually people could create these and sell them or gift them to each other!

As always, stay tuned to the @changes blog to see if any of these hacks make it on Tumblr for real!

Egal wie sehr man glaubt, man hat es überwinden, am Ende hat man es nicht und man tut es wieder. Diesmal ist es aber einem egal und man bereut es nicht.

Wieso sollte ich meine Narben verstecken wenn sie doch zeigen wie stark ich eigentlich bin.

Jedesmal wenn ich daran denke, dass du mich verlassen könntest, habe ich das Gefühl dass es mich zerreißt. Ich will dich nicht verlieren, dafür bist du mir zu wichtig

Lieb dich so sehr

Danke das du in meinem Leben bist

Ich hab richtig Lust mal ein Buch oder eher Kurzgeschichten zu schreiben. Aber alles was ich anfange und wie ich es schreibe finde ich kacke. Ich hab viele Ideen aber schaff es nicht sie in Text zu fassen.

Vermisse die Stille in meinem Kopf nach einem Schnitt
