Show HN: Left Buzzfeed to launch this

Using an ordinary English word with no capitalization for your product&#x27;s name makes the marketing copy hard to read.<p>I first parsed &quot;Why rather kicks ass&quot; as &quot;Why rather kick ass&quot; and thought &quot;yeah, why not go kick some ass (?) instead of sitting behind my computer like I&#x27;ve been doing all day&quot;.<p>Then I realized you meant &quot;Why our product (which is named &quot;rather&quot;) kicks ass&quot;.

I&#x27;m sure people can find the team page fun, but I saw it as uninformative; I see three co-founders and all I know at a glance is that one guy used to be with BuzzFeed. The front page of the site is also fun, but it&#x27;s also informative.<p>I was also a little confused about why the LinkedIn URLs don&#x27;t point to the public page but rather the URL used by those already logged into LinkedIn. I&#x27;m thinking this was probably just overlooked. I happened to be logged out, clicked on one of the icons, was required to log in, and because I use the 2-step authentication I wanted to just get back to browsing HN because all I had was just a low level of curiosity about the people behind the product.<p>Example: The icon for Peter Marquis links to <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=32333289" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;profile&#x2F;view?id=32333289</a> while it could have been linking to <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/pete-marquis/a/9b3/489" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;pub&#x2F;pete-marquis&#x2F;a&#x2F;9b3&#x2F;489</a> (or better yet the &#x2F;in&#x2F; URL which would give all users the information, whether they&#x27;re logged in or not.)<p>Bookmarked the site. I&#x27;ll check it out soon enough. Good luck!

Not to downplay the OP&#x27;s product (the launch page is very well done, btw), but this reminded me of the well-publicized winning TV-themed hackathon entry earlier this year by a teenager:<p><a href="http://www.motherjones.com/media/2013/05/meet-17-year-old-saving-you-game-thrones-twitter-spoilers" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.motherjones.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;2013&#x2F;05&#x2F;meet-17-year-old-sa...</a><p>Again, it&#x27;s not a downplay of the OP&#x27;s achievement, but a remark on how such a seemingly simple service is in high demand, such that a total underdog could win a hackathon with it. With some more work and thought to its features, this could be a real product for highly-social-networked people, and obviously not the kind of thing that the social networks will themselves create.

A few suggestions and issues:<p>I can&#x27;t figure out how to add my own keywords. All I can do is choose from the predefined lists like &quot;popular&quot; etc.<p>The scroll bar is very faint, almost to the point where I didn&#x27;t realize I could scroll and thought the UI had broken when the &quot;replace content&quot; box was pushed off screen by kill list selections.<p>On Facebook, when you replace content I see the rather logo and an &quot;undo&quot; button. I&#x27;d like to see a &quot;why?&quot; link or text description explaining what kill list was matched for that particular content to be replaced. I had a friends post, seemingly about nothing, replaced and I couldn&#x27;t figure out why.

What is the eventual revenue model for this? It seems this is going to take quite a bit of computing to remain a free chrome extension for too long.

I sent this to someone who complained on Facebook about not being able to block Buzzfeed posts. I then made a joke that I now am seriously disappointed in the Buzzfeed&#x2F;Bleacher Report SEO team about: How is there not a Buzzfeed about blocking Buzzfeed? Even if it&#x27;s just something like &quot;1500 Reasons Blocking Buzzfeed Won&#x27;t Make Your Facebook Better.&quot;

I&#x27;d like to see something that makes people more comfortable with the idea of unfriending folks that overpost annoying things, rather than covering up and hiding content over and over.<p>That said, the technology behind this looks like it could have a lot of practical uses. I especially like the example with TV show spoilers.

The writing on the site is creative and funny and the tag line at the top is to the point which is great:<p>&quot;Replace anything you want in your social feeds with things you&#x27;d rather see, like cats.&quot;<p>Rarely do you see something like that which is so easy to understand.<p>One thing I would do (in addition to [1] below) is to have other words quickly replace &quot;cats&quot; perhaps by striking the word &quot;cats&quot; and overwriting with the new word. People get the joke with cats but it&#x27;s probably not a bad idea to intersperse some serious stuff (right their in the tag line) as well.<p>[1] The word &quot;rather&quot; as others have mentioned needs to be distinct in typography so people understand it&#x27;s the branding. Bold, different typeface, different weight, a graphic etc.

Cool concept. I toyed with a similar concept on Pinterest when my wife got sick of seeing things for workouts, abs, core excercises, and the like. It&#x27;s only a proof of concept bookmarklet and they may have changed up their source since I created it, but feel free to check it out and run with it:<p><a href="https://github.com/cballou/Pinterest-Keyword-Removal-Tool" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cballou&#x2F;Pinterest-Keyword-Removal-Tool</a><p>It searches for cards containing specific keywords and removes&#x2F;hides the entirety of the card from the DOM so you don&#x27;t have to look at it. It worked seamlessly with their infinite scrolling from my initial testing.

So much for changing the world, making a dent in the universe and all that, eh? How can someone build a COMPANY around a feature that does something so inconsequential and is basically &quot;cute&quot; at best? This is neither revolutionary nor innovative in my book.<p>I don&#x27;t get it. No offense, but if this gets funding, then the Silicon Valley echo chamber has officially spread east and legitimate tech companies are doomed.<p>There are too many of these fly-by-night half-baked apps out there that people think they can become a millionaire from.<p>I can&#x27;t wait until all this hype ends so people working on REAL problems can get back to doing REAL work.

Just a note. Im using a large browser window and your main container width being 1158px is really big for a non responsive site. I opened the window and both ends were cut off.<p>Other than that, cool concept. I&#x27;ll install.

Interesting project, which might help serve to mute my Twitter feed the same way Tweetbot does.<p>Unfortunately, its filters make a really obvious mistake, which is to include very normal queries; I mean, c&#x27;mon, I hate baseball and everything, but does it seriously make sense to filter tweets with the words &quot;yankees, tigers, indians(!), pirates, and giants&quot;?<p>I&#x27;d really love a way to save and export filters, so I could use them in, say Tweetbot. Maybe you could set up a platform that allows user-created filters.

I think it&#x27;s a great start. Some immediate thoughts that struck (you prolly already know these anyway):<p>- more suggestions! let me just click to make the list longer or look for suggestions related to other things I&#x27;ve picked<p>- suggest replacement content too (e.g. themed image rss feeds that you know will generate good replacement content)<p>- allow me to right click on a word or piece of content or something and add it to my &#x27;replace&#x27; list

One of your product quotes is &quot;Whoever made this deserves the friggin nobel prize&quot; which is a response to a person who said &quot;what will these azn&#x27;s think of next&quot; and linked to <a href="http://www.geekstudent.com/index.php?tag=bubble-wrap" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geekstudent.com&#x2F;index.php?tag=bubble-wrap</a><p>Are you sure &quot;some chick&quot; on twitter actually said that?

Congrats on taking the leap.<p>One quick thought though: A fun side-project does not a company make.<p>Good luck, and let us know how we can help. But I&#x27;d start thinking real hard about how to make money (companies that want to block porn, but not all of tumblr (or reddit))

I rarely browse social media on browsers, but if I did I&#x27;d use this to help block spoilers. I turned my phone off the night of the Breaking Bad finale because I wasn&#x27;t able to watch it live.

interesting but why is this a remote service that needs to parse in-browser content? if filtering is keyword based (as opposed to ml based), why not filter locally instead ?

Very similar to Jeter Filter (<a href="http://www.jeterfilter.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jeterfilter.com&#x2F;</a>), but more general! I like it.
