For those who missed post 1 and post 2 of this series, here is a short summary.
For those who read my 1st blog about this subject probably remember that I made quite an extensive list of features I would like the tool to have.
I'm not a developer myself, but @ecoinstant told me that some of these features are rather easy to develop, but some of them are more difficult.
Although the fundraiser didn't get the entire amount of $100 to get started (yet), Eco liked the idea and also thought Hive needs such a tool that he already started developing something.
Not an entirely working tool, but a minimal viable product. To see what we can do.
And in this blog I can show you what @ecoinstant and his team have done since I've been given access to the testenvironment.
The environment exists of a website with some filtering capabilities I've asked for. For most of them you can decide whether to include or exclude them.
The testenvironment had a set of 10,000 blogs to test the filters on.
I was happy to see some of the filters I suggested were implemented like tags, author, date and community. But to my surprise there were also a few I didn't mention, but are very useful.
For instance the title. With this you can include or exclude blogs with specific words in the subject. This could for instance be very useful to exclude certain contests you want to ignore.
What I also noticed was you can filter on community ID or title. I didn't see the use of having two of these at first, but since you can use wildcards you could for instance use 'photo' as a community title. This for instance will include communities like 'Photography lovers', 'Photofeed' and 'Photography'; a very useful addition.
It looks basic, but works pretty well. It's a fact of entering the values in the fields an clicking 'Apply Filter' and you get the selection you want.
I must say I am very enthusiastic about this first prototype and curious how it will develop.
In the following section I will show you some examples of filters I have applied to get the desired results. I've created a couple of specific use cases for these filters.
Most of you might already know it, but I'm into photography. I've subscribed to a lot of photography communities and I also regularly check the #photography tag.
When I want to consume and curate photography blogs I can do this in multiple ways.
Check out my communities feed.
Pro: That shows all posts
Con: It also shows content of all other communities I follow
Check out the photography communities
Pro: This will only show photography related posts
Con: I have to go check out multiple different communities
Check out the #photography tag
Pro: This will search over multiple all communities
Con: The photography tag is widely used and sometimes abused
So I checked out if I could use the new tool to see if this could help me.
At first I thought of adding the photography tag.
That gave me 1280/10000 results, what was a bit too much.
Then I narrowed it down by adding the nature tag (I love nature photography). That resulted in 231 of the 10000 blogs.
I still saw some posts I didn't want to see, so I've added a filter to include only communities with 'photo' in the title.
Adding this filter resulted in 36 of the 10000 blogs; a very manageable number.
Funny enough, I was really attracted to the thumbnail of the first post. The Hiver was unknown to me. It wasn’t a very long blog, but the photos were beautiful.
There were just a handful of upvotes and no comments on this blog, so I left an upvote and a comment.
Let's say you want to check out some movie reviews. They you go to the Movies & TV Shows community.
So I included the community title "tv" and the tag "review". I excluded "netflix" since I don't have a Netflix account (I do have a Netflix account, but it's just for the sake of the use case).
Sometimes my post stream can get flooded by certain types of blogs like contests or challenges that I just don't want to see.
This tool give you the option to easily remove those posts by:
This tool could give you a much cleaner stream of blogs.
We want to continue developing this MVP further. We believe in this tool, but development hours cost money and even though we have started building, we haven't collected the initial amount of $100 yet.
As you can see in the pie chart, we have collected $57.90 already, which is great, but this also means there is still $42.10 due.
If you like what you have seen so far and want us to continue developing, then consider donating.

Finally I want to thank all the ones that have donated already. I also mention them so they can stay up to date of the things we do with your donation.

This was the update for this week. I hope you are as enthusiastic as I am about the tool. If so, consider reblogging this post, so more people will see it.
Thanks!

@apoloo1, sorry! You need more to stake more $PIZZA to use this command.
The minimum requirement is 20.0 PIZZA staked.
More $PIZZA is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex
It is definitely worthwhile to pursue this! Thanks for your efforts on it!
Btw, if you restrict your photo search to only communities with "photo" in the title you would miss a lot of good posts from the worldmappin community.
Thanks!
You might miss a couple more as well. You can include 'world' to the community filters, but also choose to exclude those you don't want to see.
Saving your preferences is also something we'd like to implement. But one step at a time.
Nice job!
Anxious to test is by myself 😁
Accept 2 more HBD to finance the endeavour 💞
Haha, unfortunately it's not available yet and besides that it also doesn't have live data for the moment.
Thanks for the donation! !LUV

Odio ser la odiosa que te preguntará el por qué no pusiste como beneficiario de tus entradas 1, 2 y 3 a la cuenta de @ecoinstant para sumar a la recaudación.
La persona más interesada debe apoyar más el proyecto, en este caso tú. Con las recompensas de estos post para promover el proyecto ya hubieras alcanzado la meta, y sin tocar tus bolsillos
Realmente lo digo con ánimo de construir, no como crítica. Veo que muchas veces se pone a alguien como beneficiario del post para X o Y causa. Úsalo!
Thank you for your comment.
I've contacted @ecoinstant about this idea. He said he couls build it, but wasn't good at promoting is and doing fundraisers. So I took up that task.
And yes, I'm receiving some post rewards for the time I spend on this project (which isn't only creating the blogs).
I don't agree with your point that I am the one who has the most interest in this tool. Just check all the comments of this tool. Yes, I am enthuasiastic about it, but I think many would like to use it and it would benefit Hive as a whole.
I donated to the project myself too and already told Eco I if we wouldn't reach the goal, I would pay him the rest.
But I actually want this to be a tool supported by those who believe this could be beneficial for Hive.
Ok, pero de acuerdo a lo recaudado, parece que la herramienta no le interesa mucho a la gente. Admito que lo ideal sería reunir lo fondos por donaciones directas, pero bueno, la realidad es que poca gente parece tomarse tan en serio las curaciones como tú, lo cual es bueno, pero exige mucho tiempo. Yo me conformaría con saber quiénes son usuarios activos de Hive, y quienes solo participan en trails de curación.

Fundraising is hard work!
This is going to be an awesome tool.
I can't wait!!!
We think so too!
Very promising start. I can see myself using this if it goes live.
