Blog filters #466

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Having had difficulties with nested folders, I thought of a way that would 
allow for managing large amounts of blogs and types of blogs in google reader 
in a simple way. The idea is to have clickable words such as "entertainment" or 
"news" at the top of the Subscriptions list (or anywhere, really). The function 
would be to hide folders without this string (or only show folders with this 
string).

So for instance, having folders called 
"CBC [News]" 
"BBC [News]" 
"Funny Blogs [Entertainment]"
"Comics [Entertainment]"
"Neuropharmacology [Journals]"
"Nature Neuroscience [Journals]"

Selecting the "[Entertainment]" option would display only those blogs with the 
string 
"[Entertainment]" in them. Or likewise, selecting [Journals] would hide the 
news and entertainment articles that keep distracting me when I am trying to 
keep up with publications in journals. 

All that is required is just filtering out folders without certain strings in 
them, and a way to select which ones to filter or not filter (context menu, 
clickable strings, etc).

The reason this is preferable to nested folders is because it automatically 
circumvents all of the bugs that nested folders have with bolding, displaying 
only unread folders, and so on, and allows for productivity by hiding certain 
blogs that one might want to read another time. My suggestion is to make it a 
search for specified strings anywhere in the folder name rather than requiring 
a certain prefix/suffix or location for the string.

Something like this would be a godsend, and I would have definitely written 
this already if I knew javascript. I think I could edit nested.js to filter out 
certain tags, but do not know how to have the user select which filters to use.

I enhance nested folder in next version.

But for the current version, you just need to create ALL folders before.
First create folders:  Entertainment, Journals, News
Then create folder News-CBC,Entertainment-Comics, Journals-Neuropharmacology

In this version, it may happen you need to put your feed into both News and 
News-CBC to see it properly under News / CBC (this is fixed in next version 
http://code.google.com/p/googlereaderplus/issues/detail?id=461#c4).

Be sure separator is the right one in option (here -)
