The central theme of Mobile Web Design was carefully and thoughtfully built on the assumption that the browser will always provide the most consistent, reliable medium for users of web content, and the most open and sustainable platform for developers of the same—all thanks to HTML, CSS, and web…
My all time hero as a developer is Tony Stark.
It has nothing to do with the fact he’s rich, famous, or that he gets the ladies. It’s because Tony Stark builds his tech, front-end and back-end. He doesn’t make things that just do the job. They do, but they look awesome while at it.
You see,…
Introducing: Submissions
There’s an interesting genre of blog that is more about the community than the author.
At some point you’ve probably seen Eat Sleep Draw, This is why you’re fat, or Cute Overload.
The author starts posting about a topic they care about, the readers start contributing, and before you know it, the author has become a curator.
Tumblr has always been uniquely suited for this type of blog. In fact, 6 of them have gone from Tumblr blog to book deal in the last year.
So today we’re very excited to release Submissions, a feature to streamline community-driven blogs. You can enable it from your blog’s Customize screen to let your readers submit posts via web.
Introducing: Photosets
If a picture is worth a thousand words, photosets are the future of books. Enjoy!
New theme tags are available in the Theme Docs for customization.
What I’d really like is to be able to define my own mobile theme.
Killer idea! We just added a hook so you can override the default iPhone layout by adding a
Custom Layoutpage with the url/iphone-theme. Have fun!
Instapaper Greystyled and Instapaper Article Tools extensions for Safari 5. It’s a quick implementation, but Apple’s made it pretty easy to turn a userscript into a Safari extension. (How cool is that?). More on the way. More integration into Safari’s UI, perhaps.
If you don’t already know…
New Archives are up!
Inspired by proto.jp’s awesome Tumblr Mosaic Viewer, your posts continuously flow down the page, all the way back to the beginning of your blog.
Enjoy!
My job here is to connect users with Safari extensions and their developers as painlessly as possible. As a result, it’s my goal to post every extension submitted here. To make sure that that results in a good experience for the readers of this blog, I’m setting some very basic rules in place….
Helvetireader, ported by Dave Fayram
The original userscript is by Hicksdesign. If you’re a fan of simple, Helvetica-laced design and hate the idea of using an input manager to run GreaseKit, this one’s for you.
EDIT: If you’d rather read the code and build the extension yourself, check out Ronny Haryanto’s GitHub repository.
