New in the PCT: Filtering by Post Length

Hey everyone,

Today's update to the Post Curation Tool (PCT) is another feature implemented directly from community feedback. A request was made by @friendlymoose to add filtering based on the number of words in a post. I've taken that idea and expanded on it.

New Filters for Post Length

The PCT now allows you to filter posts based on their length in three different ways:

• Body Length: Filter by the minimum or maximum number of raw characters.
• Word Count: Filter by the minimum or maximum number of words.
• Read Time: Filter by the estimated reading time in seconds.

These new fields in the search form give you much more granular control over the types of posts you want to curate, whether you're looking for short-form content or in-depth articles. To support this, I've also added these metrics to the footer of each post card, so you can see the payout, word count, character count, read time, and vote count at a glance.

What's Next? Language Filtering

I am also looking into how to add filtering by language, which was another great community suggestion. The main challenge is finding a method for language detection that is accurate without being too resource-intensive on the server. I'm currently researching the best way to implement this and will provide an update once I have a viable solution.

This should make it even easier to find exactly the content you're looking for.

As always,
