Filttr is all swell, but we need your help in making it even better. Think we missed something? Let us know!

Let's ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

    1. let me set the colours/theme

      your website design is nice but i would like to be able to tweak it if i am going to be staring at it all day. just colour settings would be enough. i would especially like the option to de-emphasized blacklist'd tweets. they're blocked because i don't want to see them, but the black bars across the stream draw too much attention to themselves.

        I know this is a much older issue but we’ve allowed [completely] hiding of blacklist’d tweets. Please visit: Settings > Behavior

      • add support for multiple twitter accounts

        great tool, but since I manage media for multiple clients and projects (and currently use splitweet.com for this), in order to fall in love with filtter I would need multiple account handling :0) Have a great day!

          For the web, you can simply open a different browser. We do support multiple accounts on the app but not multiple sign in. Let’s see what our designers can come up with!

        • add thumbs up/down option for every Tweet!

          It could be much like Facebook's news feed where you can say "more like this" or "less like this" and let Filttr learn what content gets more thumbs up per user, and what content gets more thumbs down.

            • add a sidebar contact list

              ...to send public/direct messages to a specific followed contact. Since the timeline is long, we can even have more than the 6x5 avatars Twitter shows.

              • Show only @replies and DMs via the IM Bot

                The IM bot is a great idea. But sometimes you don't want so many tweets coming through the bot and lighting up your screen like Diwali.

                Is it possible to implement a variation of !pause where you only receive @replies and @dms. Those are fewer, and instant notification means you don't have to check your twitter client all the time.

                    • Add mini browser window with live updates

                      The web interface has so many more great features than the AIR app! How about just making a narrower version of it that pops up in a small window and updates itself, similar to the pop-up live view in FriendFeed? We'd have a great, full-featured interface that doesn't take up a lot of room, and can be used at any computer without the need for a download.

                        I guess we could have a Filttr Web lite kinda thing. We’ll see what we can do! Thanks :)

                      • Include an option to block ALL @replies between followers, unless sent directly to user

                        Before the #fixreplies debacle, Twitter gave three separate options: show ALL @replies, show @replies between people I follow, and show NO @replies. Now Twitter has defaulted to the second one because of supposed technical issues with allowing people to enable the first one. Filttr can't go around Twitter's restriction on the first one, but it would be nice if an option to enable the third one is given.

                        For people who are following a lot of people, showing @replies between followers can make the timeline extremely noisy. So the option to filter out show only show normal status update -… more

                        • Identi.ca Support

                          Obviously not high-priority for a Twitter service, but general identi.ca/laconi.ca support would be sweet eventually.

                            We’ve discussed this internally and I don’t think cross-posting might ever be supported by us.

                          • The web interface becomes sluggish after sometime

                            If i keep it open say for 2-3 hours.. so many tweets accumulate that the page becomes HUGE and starts to become un-responsive. Can we have something like 30-40 tweets in a page, and if you wanna see more, just scroll down, and it will automatically load more tweets in the background.. Kinda like google reader.

                              That’ll eat up the API limit in no time. But we’ll see if we can improve performance. Meanwhile, we would suggest using a browser with a faster JS engine (chrome, safari or FF 3.5beta)

                                Sounds interesting. How do you suggest we make the filtering more strict – reduce everybody’s priorities for that period or more strict likeness check?

                              • Block a user for a certain time

                                I like to have an option to block a certain user for a certain time. I follow some users which especially when they did have spare time go to spam my timeline. With that option it would be possible to hide them f.e. only for 30 minutes.

                                This should be a one button solution. Just click the hide-button, show my default hiding time with the ability to change it for that single block and a go-for-it button ;)

                                  Make the popup TwitPic previews larger so that I don't have to leave Filttr and go to TwitPic to see the image. Shift description to bottom of image instead of the side.

                                  If that can't be done, at least set the link to TwitPic page (when clicking on a picture) to load in a new tab / window.

                                  • Ability to copy an alias

                                    Would love the ability to copy an alias. Example, I created an Alias with all the users I want. I'd love to be able to copy that alias and then add some keyword filters, for times when I don't have much time and need to get right to what I need.

                                    Thanks!

                                      In small font, near the input window...like on the Twitter web interface. That way I can remember what the last thing I said was (and when I posted it!).

                                            I'd like the option to block or blacklist tweets that are written in ALL CAPS. Most of the time such tweets are senseless, but come from people who otherwise tweet sensibly when they don't type their tweetsin caps!
