Tumblr’s Reblogging Mess Solved

The simple solution to Tumblr’s messy approach to reblogging chains is to reuse the logic and UX of Chat posts.

Currently, Tumblr turns a series of reblogs into a text glob like this:

carlos:

bette:

oneshakingfinger:

Pretty good

Nice
I agree

To say the least, this gets confusing.

The solution would be to adopt the convention of Tumblr’s own chat posts, and sequester that in a new field associated with the post, and it would look llike this:

oneshakingfinger: pretty good

bette: nice

carlos: I agree

I am adopting this approach now, manually, but it leads to a lot of editing overhead.
