Someone needs to develop an Android Tumblr app…

One that let’s me fucking reply to people or answer fricken questions!
Screenshots would be nice as well…
I haven’t fooled around with the development aspects of Tumblr like I kept swearing I was going to, but I think the limitation is that the “iPhone”/mobile view of the dashboard doesn’t have that mechanism in place, and that’s what most applications depend on for display.
For a little while I was looking at their dashboard API in the hopes of making something useful, but what it came right down to is that there didn’t seem (to my amateur eyes, anyway) to be a way to say something like “Give me all of the posts since this one” or “give me all of the posts after this one”, so there wasn’t any easy (and non resource intensive) way to paginate.
To be sure, tumblr actually has these functions. That’s why the next and previous links on the (non-infinite scrolling version of) dashboard have those long numbers in them and that’s how the little red “new post” number comes up at the top, it’s just that they aren’t exposed in the API.
Maybe I’m missing something - it certainly wouldn’t be the first time.
