[IDEA][DEVS NEEDED][Probably BOUNTY] Tumblr for Windows Mobile - First sketch!!!

The blogging-service Tumblr is really great but it would be even better if we had a mobile application (like the iPhone guys do).
I´m no developer myself but I hope someone could help. Of course I´m prepared to donate and I think others are as well.
[For users:]
If you are prepared to donate please post the amount you would donate, if the app delivers you needs and wishes.
[Bounty so far:]
20€ by me for a fully functional, good looking app.
10$ by hrhnick for full dashboard experience
[For devs:]
Here is the API documentation, seams like normal HTTP requests and some XML.
I could help with graphics as well (if needed). Here is a first sketch how the app could look like, I simply took the graphics from the official site and put them together in Photoshop.

def interested. i'd donate for the full tumblr dashboard experience. $10 USD

Maybe everyone adds the amount of money he/she is willing to donate!

Posted a first sketch of how the UI could look like. Basically I think a mobile app of a service that already exists should always resemble the look. I´m not sure how far my sketch is doable in reality (I´d say that depends on the dev ^^) but basic things like the logo or the colors are realistic.

Screenshot from the opensource app "OpenTumblr"
Its pretty much scaled to the right small factor, and runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Maybe a dev could port/modify it to PPC?

I don't use tumblr but any thoughts on using a java version? Here are two:

http://code.google.com/p/tumblrj/downloads/list

I hate Java...nevertheless I will try it, thanks for the tip.
EDIT: Ok, I did a bit of binging and found a Windows-client based on .NET; maybe this Open-Source app could provide the basis for a mobile .NET app!
http://feedfeast.com/wintumblr/

im so jealous with Iphone users because they have this app for free.. but i can still donate 10$ for using this apps.. this is the best UI that Tumblr client should have..

have now become opensource!
let the magic begin devs!
http://feedfeast.com/wintumblr

the bounty is too low
to be honest, no dev in the right mind will go for a mere 50 dollar bounty which asks for a full function. i'm writing one right now and to include the full dashboard experience with only a 10 dollar and 20 uero promise is crazy.i have better luck posting it in market place when its done later, even with cut down funtionality and sell it at 2.99.
update,
just studied the source for wintumblr and for the moment, i think an app for posting is totally achievable, but for an app with dashboard... might take longer.
now i have a working text and photo posting function. its enough for me. will post screenies from the device emulator later.

I tried both of the java ones on my HD2 and when it asks if I want to install, it attempts to then says the file is corrupt. :/

I can offer some help , basically I develop for .net3.5 framework , not for compact framework, but still. ojosdegris (at) gmail dot com

Is this project now dead?

i really wish they made a tumblr app for htc hd2

Thank You.

This is not a development thread persay, but is addressed to all the devs and modders out there.
We appreciate the work you do, very much! Despite whiners dwelling on how much the phone or software sucks, you folks are making the phone do what we want, how we want.
I tip my hat to you folks, be it themers, devs, or modders.
Great work!

Completely agree

I second this. Thank you very much for all the hard work.

+1. I personally am grateful the devs have taken time out of their lives to develop tools for a soon to be out of date OS. If I had more time I'd help develop but I worked 67 hours last week for example

Okay okay +1 thanks guys

I agree. I also now want to go buy a Snapple product.
Feel goods and warm fuzzies are great. Also try to donate a little here and there to the folks who take the time to code the things you find useful or enjoy on your device.

agreed. u guys are da best!

seriously! you guys ARE android

I got this phone by "mistake". Went to the verizon store for a droid x. They were out so I got the fascinate which they had just got in that day to have something to play with until the x was restocked. Got it home and saw all the verizon bloatware and touchwiz and bing and said this phone sucks! Thanks to the Devs my phone is now friggin awesome. Sooo happy they were out of the droid x that day. What the Devs have done up till now is mind blowing. So thanks JT, Birdman, Deodexed, Supercurio (for Voodoo), Adrynalyne (for Voodoo uninstaller), AgentHeX, wickedbeav, fallingup, and anyone I forgot or don't know about.

many thanks from Georgia

Don't know where we would be without all of your hard working developers out there.
Thank you good sirs, thank you.

Yea this phone is excellent with the all the things the devs has done Thank you. No rush from me to get a kernel, Froyo or anything idc really take your time and THANK YOU.

First post, I would also like to thank the developers who make this interesting. Without them its just a phone, most of the fun comes from messing around with stuff.

I agree. You guys deserve thanks, not the *****fest I see about Froyo. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see what you come up with once Froyo drops for SGS

Yep good stuff. cant wait for 2.2 dev to start though
Other then bing and a few bugs this phone is just awesome!! My droid had bugs that were ironed out after a few system updates so im not freaking out about the long gps lock or backlight buttons

A toast to toastcfh

I wanted to take a moment to make a toast to toastcfh. toastcfh is often more of a behind-the-scenes guy, and he seems to prefer it that way. Unfortunately that means he often doesn't get much recognition in this community. Most of us probably don't realize just how much he does for our EVOs and without him, our EVOs wouldn't be nearly as good as they are.
Most early EVO users were able to achieve full root and NAND unlock thanks to toastcfh, even if you didn't know you were using toastcfh's methods. Almost all of the 1, 2, or 3 step processes that we used (e.g. one click root methods) included automated versions of toastcfh's part 2 and let's not forget part 1.
toastcfh is also responsible for most of the kernel work that we see for the EVO. Many Sense users are familiar with netarchy-toastmod. The "toastmod" part is due to our one and only toastcfh.
Anyone running CyanogenMod is using a kernel that toastcfh is largely responsible for maintaining. toastcfh is also responsible for the most of the kernel work that has allowed WiMAX and he laid the groundwork for hardware accelerated HDMI development to take place in CM. No matter which kernel you're using in CM7, you're using some of toastcfh's work.
toastcfh has also been at least partly responsible for the recent rooting and NAND unlocking that's been taking place for the EVO's little brother, the HTC EVO Shift.
In addition to all of this development work that toastcfh does, he also finds time to be moderator of our EVO forums here on XDA (a thankless job to be sure). I'm sure that there are at least a hundred other things that toastcfh has done for us that I'm not aware of. If you know of something that I've missed or toastcfh has helped you out personally, please share your experience.
So please, take a moment with me to raise a glass and post your thanks to our humble toastcfh! If you feel so inclined, please consider a small donation. He'll never ask you for one.
THANK YOU TOASTCFH!!!

i <3 toast
thanks so much for everything!!
quite possibly the most giving and underappreciated dev i've ever worked with.

toast be the man -- mad props bro, we <3 ya.

This is spot on. He's one of the most dedicated developers I've seen. All the while balancing work and a family. Definitely doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

Toast your are the ****! Don't know where the community would be without you! Much <3!

One love toast thanks for everything u rock!!!

Sending some cash monies your way as well...

Yeah toast is a stand up guy. I remember when I first switched to sprint and got my heroc; this guy had been putting in tons of work and is still going strong. Kudos toast

Much respect for you toast, for all the things you did for xda.

toastcfh released the godmode kernel for the HTC EVO, weeks before the HTC EVO was released to the public for sale.
his kernel was the first open source code version which worked on the EVO and was even released before HTC released their official kernel source code!
many custom kernels for the EVO are based of off toastcfh's source code. he has since moved to mainly github releases and is the main kernel maintainer for the cm7 evo kernel. in addition to all his many other endeavours.
he does great work. very reliable and of high quality. it is the only code i trust to put on my phone as he has always been completely open and helpful.
thank you toast. my htc evo experience wouldn't have been as great without you.

Most people who see this thread have or are using all of the above. Donating now! Thanks Toast!

Yeah toastcfh!
<3

Great Post.
I'll definitely give Toast a huge thanks for the work he does! He is a behind the scenes type of guy so he'll prolly blush at this thread =p

Yay for Toast!

I'm gonna name my first born after toast LOL! =) thanks toast!

Thanks Toastcfh! What would we do without you?
Much respect.

Your drive is admirable however, you need to correct your grammar in that petition for sure. I am not trying to insult you, but that is a mess. I think (my opinion) you need to word it so that it is not so threatening in an al-Qaeda sorta way. If you need help with that, PM me.

holy cow she is scary.
keitht is right though. If you want to be taken seriously by Motorola or potential adult signatories then you need to clean up the grammar. Additionally, in my opinion, It would be more effective if you phrased it to seem less petulant.

Yea...sorry frustrated. The site wont let me update it though. Stuck with it now.

I don't know how that petition site works so not sure if you can edit your existing text, but it should only include the facts of the issue which are:
- microSD card support does not work 4 months after release
- no word on when 4G support will be available 4 months after release
As we wait, neither of the above features work as we watch other tablets release with fully functional microSD slots and 4G support.
My opinion (and is only my opinion) at this point, I have lost 1/2 the value of the tablet for the features that should have already been implemented. Maybe even more since the Xoom was already priced more than any tablet that released with these features working.

Put that in the comments of the petition that way when I print it out they see all that.
I just see all these concerns being wasted in this forum when they could be put there and printed out and mailed ya know.
So please don't waste those great thoughts in here anymore

A petition can't be changed once it's live, else people can sub X for Y and subvert the original premise.
BTW,
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/internet.asp

I signed! . . .

I signed it although I think it should have been proofed better. But that does not take away the fact that we have been screwed with the microSD card and 4G issue four months later. Xoom 2 talk already? Are you kidding me? Xoom 1 was never finished.

I am liking the comments. More of that said and we got something.

Awesome thank you. We need the support.

Trolls and the ungrateful

One thing I have enjoyed here in this forum is it is much friendlier and less flaming than the evolution 3d forum I came from, and still is so far.
I have read a few things that disappointed me greatly I would like to mention .
Guys, think before you bash a persons work. Whether it's a theme, ROM, or some mod these people put in hard work and time for free and our benefit! It may not be perfect or what you personally like but that's not the point. If I was doing things for friends I've never met or a forum I would stop after some of the crap I've read.
Guys, please keep this place supportive and friendly. We were all noobs once and didn't know much except how to turn on the phone.
Anyway, respect each other and the work posted here. Bashing doesn't promote anything and doesn't encourage anyone to keep going .
And it's FREE!
Ok, group hug . J/k

It has become worse over the years. Sadly.
Still it's a small group who messes it up for the rest.
I have however, also seen someone who thinks he's a "developer", say snobby stuff to noobs. Like he was better then them.
This is much worse imho.

I agree. It goes both ways and there will always be the ones who's sole purpose is to troll and flame. I just can't imagine knocking someones hard work when they are giving it away. And I will never understand flaming a noob for asking a question. We were all there once. Hopefully this forum will stay above the fray .
Like my mom says about free stuff, "beggers can't be choosers"

I completely second what OP said,most of my PDAs would have been unusable bricks without the support of this great Forum and its intelligent and zealous Devs, starting long back with my Imate PDA2K in 2006, turning my HD2 from unstable device with its officially unsupported OS into one great masterpiece .
I salute all the devs in this forum knowing well that our GNote coupled with their fantastic effort and talent will become an even better device once the official ICS starts rolling out.
