I'd like to not rely on the majority of a website to define what information I shouldn't see. I'd like to handle it myself, as otherwise, it's censorship. That's why I won't use the Bookmarklet button.
At the same time, I can pick some words to manually mute from the list, so still useful.
P.S. Impressed by the speed you release projects! How are you planning to monetize it?
Useful bookmarklet. No doubts of that.
Although I think it should nicely have word tops depending on the language.
In my case, almost 50% of the people I follow are spanish speakers, which makes me wonder also about muting the top 100 words in spanish (meanwhile, I'll do it manually).
Would it make sense to analyze also google trends, you think, to mute what is politically and from the media point of view, more annoying? What do you think?
Congrats!

This is exactly what I needed and didn't have the tech skills to even express as a request. Taking back my feed is really what it is. Up until now I've been manually muting, turning off RTs, unfollowing folks. It's just too much. I wish there was a feature of "Mute 90%" so I don't block it out completely. Thank you!

@mxgili I love the "Mute 90%" idea! I feel like that would strike a good balance between staying informed and feeling overwhelmed by news
Report
@john_amadeo thanks! it was just a side note but I think it could be a simple and useful upgrade - track the number of mutes, un-mute every 10th item, for example.

Although so quickly executed (key knowledge was already in place and on point) this is the very attitude with which every single app should be thought out and researched BEFORE it gets developed.
Even more important than the app itself is the statement you deliver by building something so purpose-driven, worrying about problem-solving the most expensive thing ever: user's time and focus. Well done!
Honest congratulations mate. GREAT job.
If I may predict the future for the app/extension: geolocation functionality so that users may have their "100 keywords" in their own language, context and region.
Being a fan of filtering out unnecessary information I very welcome this product. Too much irrelevant information is a disease of our times.
Bravo, Pieter! My upvote is with you.
