An updated bot that posts to Tumblr, based on your very own blog!

tumblrbot

Description of original project:

4tv-tumblrbot was a collaborative project I embarked on with my close friend Dima, who goes by @smoqueen on Tumblr. The aim of this endeavor was straightforward yet silly: to develop a Tumblr bot powered by a machine-learning model. This bot would be specifically trained on the content from a particular Tumblr blog or a selected set of blogs, allowing it to mimic the style, tone, and thematic essence of the original posts.

This fork is largely a rewrite of the source code with similarities in its structure and process:

• Updates:
  • Updated to OAuth 2.0.
  • Updated to the New Post Format.
