- Notes a pattern in the posts that need to be filtered (here, the projects posts have links to websites, while the life details posts don't)
- Inputs the filter into the system, and Hubbub immediately applies it to the listed items so Bob can preview the results.
- Realizing that "contains a link", while better than no filter, still lets some noninteresting posts through, Bob updates the filter to allow only posts linking to the source code hosting websites that his friends use.
- Reads the newly filtered content, and concludes that it is a valid filter that expresses what he wants.
- Saves the filter.
- In the future, Bob applies the filter whenever he wants to look through the latest side projects that his friends have made.
Saving Information
Bob browses through his information feeds through Hubbub while his code is compiling, not looking for anything in particular. He finds an article describing a new, shiny library to solve a problem in his favorite programming language. Bob has been using this programming language for one of his side projects, and this library might come in handy! He's at work, so he wants to archive it and refer to it later when he goes home. Bob takes the following actions:
- Clicks on the save button corresponding to the item in the feed.
- Categorizes the article with other materials relevant to side projects
- Later, when at home, views his saved items and retrieves the article.
