Feature request: Public texts filtering

Suggestions
1

Hi, I really like Readlang but miss several features which are stopping me from switching to Readlang completely.

  1. I would love to be able to hide public texts I already finished.

  2. Order public texts alphabetically. For example in spanish there are lessons like “A1 - Unidad 1”, “A1 - Unidad 2” etc. and this would help me to see them in order.

  3. When I search for texts and finish one of them, it won’t bring me back to my search result, but back to all texts instead. Could that be changed?

Anyway thank you for all your hard work :slight_smile:

Hi Pavel! Steve will know better, but you can put things on shelves of your own choice and you can drag-and-drop rearrange their position on said shelves. And you can archive. There may well be other things you can do that I haven’t figured out yet. So, at least, you can order alphabetically, or otherwise, by drag-and-drop (your #2 request).

Personally, I’d like to be able to edit the names of my various books. I don’t think that can be done?

And I agree with your #3 request. It is irritating to always be taken back to “all texts” instead of your last (preferred) open, and organized, shelf. If there is a way to change that, I don’t know about it.

Good to have you here!

Concerning hiding finished texts, I’d welcome a view in which all shelves with finished texts only would be hidden as well.

Thanks for the suggestion! You can now enable this as an experimental feature: Experimental option to hide completed texts from public library

That makes sense. I’ll think about this!

Hi @steve didn’t want to start a new post as its related to public text filtering, i hope you see this.
Would it be possible to add feature to filter public texts that have videos?

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve just added this. In the public library, click Filters and tick Only texts with video. It works together with the other filters, so you can, for example, show only videos at a particular difficulty level.

Please refresh your Readlang browser tab to see it, and let me know if you have any problems.
