(My blog died a few minutes because of an update which didn't go well at all. I'm not gonna say bad things about Wordpress, it's probably my fault, I was like 3 versions late. Anyway, everything is fine now, let's move on.)
You probably already know about [Tumblr](http://www.tumblr.com/ "Tumblr Home"), an awesome service which allows you to post text, links, quotes... very easily. I've always loved this service : it's elegant, simple **and provides an API**! As you may know, if you read my old blog, I've always loved to work with APIs (Google, Twitter, LastFm...) that's why of course I decided to use Adobe AIR to create a Desktop Client for Tumblr. That's how [Crumblr](http://www.crumblr-client.com "Crumblr client") was born.
That's right, "Crumblr" was a desktop client to manage your Tumblr blogs. I stopped working on it for now, for ever, I'm really not sure : the data returned by the API are full of crappy HTML entities, the tumblr backend has a lot of flawes (required fields which are not, allows you to post empty content... *).
That's why I'm really frustrated. I've sent a few mail to [Marc Lafountain](http://marclafountain.com/), the community manager and he was (reactive, nice and) honnest:
>Hi, Romain. I'm sorry that you are frustrated. I will once again share your thoughts with the team. But, >as we have many competing development priorities, I don't know when this will be addressed.
>Marc :-)
My point is, this service could be even more awesome if these simple issues were fixed [instead of adding useless new features](http://twitter.com/Palleas/status/8862513577). For now Crumblr-client has been replaced by Crumblr-project in my head. I'm really proud to announce it, you'll find more informations (in french) [on this page](http://crumblr-project.com "Crumblr project's homepage").
\* I reported this issue 6 months ago, and it's still not fixed.
