Tumblr Tags is a simple web service to figure out a Tumblr blog's most-used tags. I wanted to put the list on my blog and Tumblr's customization tools didn't provide it, so here we are. I still don't have the list on my blog, but I have learned some things.
I have no real idea how to set this up. It works for me! You'll need Ruby, MongoDB and a bunch of gems.
If you get it running, just go to the home page, type in a Tumblr username and an optional limit on the results, and go get a snack. The only way I found to figure out a user's top tags is to fetch all of their posts and count. A cache prevents the service from doing this more than once per user per day.
Most of them are in the Gemfile. Big ones:
Tests use Cucumber, RR, VCR, and Timecop, which 90% of the time I mistype as "Timescape".
