it gets tricky...in this case the extension is literally just deleting the posts from the DOM (local copy of html stored in your browser), it's not replacing what it deletes with 'fresh' content from the blockchain that passes the filter, in this case, that isn't a resteem. In order to do that, we have to add a couple big layers of complexity on top...BUT...I think it's doable.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I meant to have a similar code to have more "search-ability"
what if this approach would be applied to be used on new / hot / trending feeds to "hide" any post that does not contain the search term?
You could absolutely do it, but it would have the exact same limitations, it would only display the valid ones, so if two posts matched, you'd see two posts until you tried to scroll. Could work alright, but would be SOOOO much smoother if we could pull fresh posts from the blockchain with steem-rpc and filter and merge them into the feed as it loads.
true that - I'll have a chat with some developers...
either way, thanks for your effort mate - greatly appreciated
any time! thanks for being excited about it :P
Honestly, you kinda made me (extra)/super excited about Steemit - good vibes!
awwwww =) yay!
The ability to trigger notifications when a post was published that met your search filters would be a nice touch too.
Yeah!! I have this as a longer term goal, I think it's definitely doable, will just require some groundwork.
