apparently, on april 18, 2017, tumblr decided to release an application called "cabana", which allowed you to groupwatch youtube videos and do live video chat with your friends.

[edit: why the fuck was the embedded preview of the mashable article about cabana a video of a boat? the mystery deepens.]

at the time it was iOS only with a planned android release "a few weeks" later. I cannot find any reference to it ever having been released on android, nor can I find any reference to it having been shut down. all of the links from outside reporting to the staff blog announcing the release 404, but google is able to find it. neither aidan nor jae can remember ever hearing about this thing, despite both having been heavy tumblr users in 2017.

oh yeah duh, my eyes glossed over the "android" link at the top and assumed the link wasn't there because the postscript on the post said "we'll be shipping the android version in a few weeks"
