In my quest to create a very simple Tumblr client, the next step is to define what this simple client should do on the 1.0 release. We cannot start the next design steps without a very descriptive application description. So, what this 1.0 release should be able to do? What goals should I try to achieve?
- Put the content (the pictures) at the centre of the user experience (pretty much like QuickTumblr or Dribbblr);
- Browse only pictures (skip blog posts with media type other than pictures because I want to create a Tumblr image browser);
- Browse Tumblr without user authentication (without authenticating the user, the application could still allow browsing of Tumblr blogs in general something the API seems to allow);
- Authenticate the user to the his Tumblr Dashboard;
- Logoff the currently logged in user;
- Think that at some point the application could support to show one picture in full screen mode;
- Design the application in a way to allow more interaction features with other Tumblr functionality eventually in a future release (liking blog posts, rebloging to followers, saving pictures the the camera roll, seeing blog post comments, etc.)
- Support all iPad orientations;
As you can see, this will be a very basic Tumblr client. By making it this simple, I'm aiming to be honest with how much work I can put into this as I'm not a full time iOS developer. My resources are also very limited.
