That's it. I'm done with Tumblr. For a reason.

As of today the new MOApp weblog is powered by my own LogEngine. LogEngine is my very own version of a dead simple weblog engine. As simple as b2 once was. It's nothing I can make available for others for now. I wouldn't even call it an alpha yet. But it's already working for the AZLog and null816 and I've also my own App for OS X and the most important part:

I own it! I own its API and it's my content. It's stored on my own server.

Because of the recent changes to the Tumblr API their own tool to backup your Tumblog isn't working anymore. But there is another way to backup all your content - at least as a webarchive:

I've just published an update for Quick and Dirty - The simple image editor for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display…

As already said before (and before and before) - I'm sick and tired of companies changing the rules and APIs and forcing those who helped making their service big and successful to either comply or to die.

Well, I chose to die.

As of today myTumblr does not work anymore and I was not granted access to their new API because they changed the rules afterwards.

I'm sorry that the App no longer works for you as it did for years before without any trouble. There can't and won't be an update. Sorry.

I know it sucks and because I myself hate being forced to use the crappy web interface to blog (for any service) - I'm also searching for option to migrate this tumblog into my own weblog engine. This may take a while but I don't like to be treated that way from companies.

I still like the idea of Tumblr and I understand why they act like they act and for new and unestablished Apps I don't have a single problem with it - but for old (or the first Apps) it doesn't have to be this way. Or better: it shouldn't.

I always wished I could carry the pinboard(s) from my office with me. On my Macs. And wouldn’t it be awesome to have multiple version of one pinboard to try different things for ideas. And if you don’t have to manually write them down if you start with the next project?

Over 60 percent off the traffic on the MOApp site is generated by cracks/keygen/torrent sites.

The cracked to sold ratio is about 4:1 (not included cracked MAS Apps).

I've just published the first bug fix update for Write 2. It fixes several minor bugs and glitches. Please note that this is an update for the Non-MAS version. The update for the App Store App has been submitted for review simultaneously. So it can only be weeks and month until it hits the App Store :–)
