Hiding Deals

bxpressiv on 09/10/2014 - 17:19

So I finally got round to clicking hide Udemy deals which will stop clogging up my main page. So it got me thinking, how does the filter work? The reason I ask is I would like to filter out any deal with the tag 'ebook' or something similar. If I hide a deal with free Amazon ebooks will it then hide any deal from Amazon.com?

I would love to see the customisation go further so I only see posts I perceive as of value vs junk/unavailable in my region (eg Costco).

    Currently there are only two types of filters for deals

    • Filter out the domain
    • Filter out the user

    In the Udemy case you basically block out all deals from the udemy.com domain. Unfortunately that's about as much customisation as you can do here.

    That's what I thought. No scope to expand to filter by tag?

      A deal can associate with multiple tags (extra expensive join on the database query) and people don't tag them correctly. Scope — maybe. Having it implemented — not priority.

        No probs, thanks for the insight.

    If you use a greasemonkey (or similar) enabled browser, I could probably make a quick script to hide posts with certain keywords.
