I've always wanted to be able to filter my #mastodon feeds by people I'm following or hashtags, instead of one huge noisy feed of both.

I've got enough working now I'd love for others to give it a shot, everything is stored in your browser, no tracking or servers collecting data.

if you have a few minutes I'd love others try it out or reshare

You can find it here: https://elefeed.app/

Thanks! Using it now.

I follow hundreds of hashtags but when I first open Mastodon in the morning, I want to catch up first on posts from people I follow, then hashtags. This is exactly what I've been looking for!

1 point: The "new post" indicator appears over the timeline, and the only way to get it out of the way of what I'm looking at is to click it, which takes me to the top.
But when I'm trying to catch up on my feed, I DON'T want to go to the top, I want to keep scrolling down.

Could the indicator be out of the way of the content, or have a way to dismiss it/remind me later?

@klu9 thanks for the feedback, it was actually in the tab at one point but that felt clunky as well. I'll play around with moving it elsewhere, I agree I'm not in love with it as well.

I'm not a UI designer so I don't know the best solution, trying to remember how it's done elsewhere. I think the standard web interface on my instance makes a line near the top glow. Took me a while to notice that & figure out what it meant. Your indicator does at least make it obvious what it means.

PS I'm using Zen Browser on laptop (in case that affects anything)
