@samuelclay I see youāve mentioned that this will be computationally expensive for all articles.
How about at least for YT videos/description fields.
Iām sure theyāre a lot more manageable than whole articles.
Bulk of the feeds are more text based rather than YT feeds.
Iām back here to ask for better filtering again. Youāre not alone, this has just been asked already. I actually came back here to be more specific, and ask that the Newsblur Intelligence trainer let us choose which feeds we want to train, or at least to be able to do them all, the ones I need to filter most never showed up in the intelligence trainer. The Verge, Ars Technica, those feeds are blowing up right now due to Appleās Time Flies event.
Ah ok, oops, donāt know how I missed that. I canāt train by adding keywords, it only lets you train by author and whatever tags it picks up. It also still matches too easily.āSeaā matches āSean McConeryā for example.
I do see keywords I have trained in the past, but Iām noting that I canāt delete them. Because of how the keywords match far more than desired, I would actually like to delete some keywords as well as add some others manually without having to pull up a specific story with a keyword Iām looking for.
I would love to be able to train the filter/intelligence at will a lot more than I currently am able to. For example with the Apple Time Flies event I had like over 100 tech related emails, and Iād love to be able to still get some content from The Verge or ARS Technica on other topics besides Apple stuff since Iām already sated on the topic. I wish I could set a filter and give it an expiration date at which point the filter would just disappear.
Pardon me for hijacking this thread Op. I like your idea though. Itād be great if we could train in an allow mode or block mode. Block mode = nothing gets through unless it has a desired parameter or keyword for the RSS feed. Itād be such a drag to have to thumbs down all the authors for some RSS Feeds that have a lot of contributors. Iām not even sure how YouTube feeds work, would you even get author tags in those feeds? How do you even do that, do you copy the subscribe URL or something for a YouTube channel?
So now that highlighting text has launched, I finally have the interface I need to be able to ship this feature. Itāll be premium only of course, but it shouldnāt be a problem to implement. Iāll prioritize it now and see if I can get to it this winter when Iām back on feature work.
Looking forward to further feature development. The rest of this message is from last night, couldnāt post as I got booted from the 'puter.
Oh I see, once a user marks a keyword as neutral and saves, it gets deleted. Thatās a bit counter-intuitive, but good to know.
I was thinking, It would be so useful if the author tag could be used to see the articles that the author has attributed to them, I could then see if I like their work, and then decide to focus their articles, filter them out of focus mode, or leave it as neutral.
More ideas for consideration. Thanks for a great product, keep it up :).
Love this idea. We also have the story list header bar for it now that we have Saved Searches. Not sure how to launch you into seeing a single author-view though. Tapping on the author will train it.
