IJSS To Do

A running list of what's still open. Add notes from day-to-day use under Notes from Testing.

Planned Features

• Caption setting — Optional caption text for posts (currently image-only with the folder name as the tag).
• More services — Add other sites alongside Tumblr (the folder layout already allows one folder per service).

Before Sharing the App

• Signing team — Choose a team under Signing & Capabilities in Xcode. This also stops the Keychain "allow access" prompts after rebuilds.
• Hardened Runtime — Turn on in Signing & Capabilities (required for notarization).
• Developer ID + notarization — Needs a paid Apple Developer account. Export with Product ▸ Archive ▸ Distribute App ▸ Direct Distribution.
• Credentials setup for a fresh clone — TumblrCredentials.plist is ignored by Git, so a new checkout won't have it. Add setup instructions to the README (or an example file) explaining how to create it with the OAuth Consumer Key and Secret Key.
• Client secret in the app — The Tumblr secret ships inside the app bundle. Acceptable for now; revisit before a public release (e.g., obfuscation or a small relay server).
• App icon — Assets.xcassets has no icon yet.

Known Limitations

• Daily limit counting — The 250-posts-per-day check counts from local midnight, but Tumblr uses its own clock, so the count can be slightly off near midnight. Tumblr still stops posting if the real limit is hit.
• Tumblr queue size — Tumblr's queue holds about 300 posts. IJSS doesn't check how full the queue is before posting; it stops after 3 failures in a row instead.
• WebP uploads — Allowed, but not confirmed by Tumblr's docs (which list JPG, GIF, and PNG). Test a WebP file.
  • WebP file tested and uploaded successfully.
• Unsupported formats — HEIC, TIFF, and similar files are skipped. Could convert them to JPEG automatically before uploading.
• Quitting while posting — Quitting mid-run stops posting without a warning. Images already posted are recorded and archived, so nothing is posted twice, but a "posting is in progress" warning would be friendlier.
• Login port — Login uses http://localhost:8765/oauth-callback. If another app ever uses port 8765, the port must be changed in TumblrCredentials.swift and in the app's settings on tumblr.com/oauth/apps.

Notes from Testing

• Feature idea for Tumblr - Add the ability to shuffle the queue from the app. - https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2#postsqueueshuffle---shuffle-queued-posts
• Feature idea for Tumblr - Show the current queue count and offer a button to refresh the count. - https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2#postsqueue--retrieve-queued-posts
• Feature idea for Tumblr - Pull the blog's avatar and use it in the UI - https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2#avatar--retrieve-a-blog-avatar
• Feature idea for Tumblr - Show the current number of posts today and the number of posts remaining so the user knows if they're getting close to the limit.
• Feature idea for Tumblr - Currently the post delay increments by five seconds, change this to single second increments.
