Tumblr Theme development tool. Protects your fingers from tedious copy-pasting.
Developing a Theme for Tumblr can be tedious: occupied by a large amount of copying and pasting a Tumblr template into their customize tool. Thimble gives you, the Tumblr Theme developer, a canvas to test your theme before moving it into Tumblr. Think of it as a place to work out your theme's rough draft. And you can work offline.

Put it in a PHP server. Any flavor of *AMP will do. I don't recommend putting it on a public-facing server. Point your browser to index.php
.
I don't know if it will work with a version of PHP less than 5.2.11.
Thimble does a bad impression of Tumblr's templating system. If you could imagine a terrible impression of Jerry Lewis, and Jerry Lewis was Tumblr's templating system, that's what Thimble is. It's not foolproof, and it can be unpredictable, but it should give you a good approximation of what your theme will look like. It tries its best to conform to Tumblr's theme docs.
Its only goal is to give you a reasonable idea of what your theme will look like.
Put your theme in the theme directory. You'll be able to select it from the application.
It reads data out of a YAML file. If you'd like to render your own custom data, take a look at data/demo.yml
for reference. Create a new YAML document in the data directory, and in theme.php
, set the variable $DATA
to your document's filename.
