Filter by tags? about feedthistothat HOT 2 OPEN

Would it be okay if I took a shot at implementing this? Obviously I'll fork the repo and make sure it runs in my own app engine playground rather than doing anything to this repo directly. I'm interested in doing this for my own education too -- what you're doing here is cool and I can think of lots of similar things I'd like to do.

My use case here is that I have three types of delicious content:

• Things I'd like to pass through to livejournal
• Things I'd like to pass through to the Wordpress blog that in theory I use for professional blogging but in practice don't yet
  • Things like origami patterns that I'd like to bookmark but don't need to pass through to either blog platform.

The first two aren't mutually exclusive, there may be things I'd like to talk about both personally and professionally.

To support this, I'm thinking of adding a filter-in and a filter-out field.

The filter-in takes a single string. If this is non-NULL, only Delicious entries tagged with that exact string are included. Advanced filter-fu: this tag is not passed through to the target platform.

The filter-out field can take multiple strings: any Delicious entries tagged with one or more of those strings are excluded. This works in conjunction with filter-in: if filter-in is not NULL, then to be included an entry must both include the filter-in tag and not include any of the filter-out tags.

I think filter-in will be more useful, so I'm going to try to implement it first. Let me know if you have any thoughts or comments, or if you'd really rather do this yourself.

Feel free to give it a go. I'm in mid-rewrite of the entire damn thing to make it more flexible, but with various personal-life things going on, I'm not likely to get that finished for a while.

But the code-base isn't too complex, so you should be able to wade through it. Let me know if you need a hand with any of it!
