> ...just opening up a tumblr blog

[I run a Tumblr software blog at http://sandpaper.io.]

A related idea on my mind lately is using Tumblr just as a backend CMS. Then pull the content via their API to display to end users on a separate site. For example, with a bot that automates publishing to a gh-pages branch.

The motivation is that their editing tools and app are so nice, but their presentation makes a site feel less professional. (Also because of the limited abilities to tweak CSS, use JS, and optimize performance can be a bit frustrating.)
