Description

Tumblr is still a thing, would be nice to allow logins with that.

TBD if it's actually reasonable to do though, because of the capricious nature of their profile URLs. According to the API docs, there is a permanent UID (which they incorrectly call a uuid) so the Twitter userID-in-fragment hack (e.g. username.tumblr.com#uid) could work.

There is an official client which should make this a lot easier, and looks very similar in usage to the Twitter client.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing Twitter client integration with the official Tumblr client, pytumblr, and review Tumblr's API documentation on permanent blog UIDs. Done means users can sign in with Tumblr reliably despite changing profile URLs, with the chosen UID-based approach working end to end.
