Is it possible to have a filter that can remove resteemed posts from a person's feed? Sometimes I find someone that I would like to read a lot more of their work but have to sort through their resteems as well, which can make it quite an arduous task.
For me personally, I do not resteem very often (which I should and would like to more) because I feel that if anyone wanted to go back through my work, they would have to wade through resteems too. This is silly of course since not many people would look back past a day or two of my posts, if at all. I do for people though as it helps me get to know them better and watch them develop in different ways plus follow their trains of thought.
I also like to see what kinds of posts people I am interested in resteem too so I wouldn't be that keen to have a separate post/resteem feeds for people but a filter would probably work well. At least in my non-developer opinion.
It could also be used to filter other things or perhaps have a search to find certain types of content from a user. For example, if a person has several core content areas, it may be possible to search one of them and get a reverse chronological list returned.
This would of course also be handy for a user to search through others (or their own posts) to use as references or links for related topics or to find older content. Maybe a search by month as I am too old and my thumbs can't keep up with all the scrolling ;)
Is anyone else interested in this kind of filter/search function? Is it useful?
