Take control of the number of tags you see

In the recent 1.20.5 update (check it now!), we introduced the news filter option Show tags.

It significantly reduces the number of tags loaded from the server by excluding rare ones.

The general rule is:

If a tag is encountered in news less than N times, it is considered rare and excluded from the list of tags.

We consider that when dealing with thousands of news items daily, the tags appearing in just 1 or 2 news items are not particularly important most of the time.

Currently, the filter allows you to set the threshold to 2-5 tags, and, of course, you can load all tags if you want.

By default, the threshold is set to 2 (at least two news items with the tag should be present). That allows us to reduce the number of loaded tags up to 75% and the traffic up to 1.5 times!

In future updates, we plan to make filter settings persistent, so they save between sessions and devices.

Please, tell us what you think about this feature! We are eager to hear your feedback and suggestions on how to improve it further.

Feeds Fun roadmap

We prepared a dashboard with long-term development plans.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback on it. React to the tasks you like:

  • Like to increase the priority of the task.
  • Comment to help us better understand your needs.
  • Create a feature request if we missed something important for you.

All tasks are organized into four groups:

  1. Core Functionality — must have — we consider these features the essence of the project — what the project is about.
  2. Key Features — should have — these features are essential for the project, but not critical.
  3. Enhancements — good to have — these features enhance the project, but we can live without them for a long time.
  4. Bonus Features — nice to have — features that make the project better in some way, or features with unclear value for the project.

We'll support PRs for any task from any group — it will be a priority for us to review and merge them.

We are open to discussion and suggestions — the roadmap is not set in stone, we can change it according to community feedback and needs.
