Feature Request - Extended blocklist functionality #841
Description
First of all, thanks for adding that feature in the first place. It saved my sanity and time from seeing tons of things I don't care about. During the past few weeks, I noticed some things that could be added or enhanced.
I can add details and explanations, but I think it's better to keep it short for now.
1. Option to add articles via context menu
- the app will then paste the headline into the input field, removing all potential typos and the need to search for special characters
(if people use the description, it will also have a field for that. But since I disabled the description, there is no need to display the field and copy the text as well)
2. Ability to sort the list
- use drag and drop to move them
- create a section for each topic and naming it, making it visually more pleasing than just a giant list
3. Extended and refined filter rules
- add more input fields to allow multiple, seperate words per rule (sometimes, a phrase would not work when there are other words in between, or they get used in a different order)
- add fields that will whitelist-override the rule (the rule will be used unless the article contains a certain word or phrase)
- general whitelist that will override all rules
- add a drop-down to use the source as a rule (the article will only get blocked if it is coming from example.com, even if the article from example2.com would also match). When using the context menu to add the article, it will also pre-fill this drop-down.
- Option to use the URL as a rule (some sites keep reposting the same article over and over again, probably because it got a tiny update and their RSS generator registers this as a new post). So I would like to use the link
example.com/article.htmlas a rule. Also wildcards:example.com/topic/Microsoft_Edge/*. (This will make it possible to just block the specific source, without blocking the entire topic).
