Multi-dimensional Feed Classification

[Chikedor]

Clear and concise description of the problem

As a user of this project, I want to be able to apply categories across all content types (social media, images, video, RSS, etc.), so that I don't have to recreate the same category for each content type separately. For example, if I create a "Technology" category for RSS feeds, I want to be able to use that same category for Social Media content as well.

Suggested solution

In the category management system, we could:

Allow categories to be created independently of content types Implement a system where categories can be applied to any or all content types Provide an option to select which content types a category should apply to when creating or editing a category Develop a unified view that shows content from a specific category across all content types

Alternative

An alternative could be to implement an automatic category suggestion system that, when a user creates a category in one content type, suggests applying it to other relevant content types based on the user's behavior and preferences.

Additional context

Currently, categories are limited to a single content type, which is inconvenient and doesn't reflect how users typically want to organize their content. This change would make the categorization system more flexible and user-friendly, allowing for more efficient content organization across different types of media and sources.

FOL-256 Multi-dimensional Feed Classification

I don't understand why you need to use the same category in different views when their content is clearly different. Could you explain how you are using it?

[Chikedor]

Let's see if i make it easier to understand my point of view:

Reasons for unified categories

1. Organizational consistency: Using the same categories across all content types allows users to maintain a coherent organizational structure throughout the platform.

2. Time-saving: It eliminates the need to recreate similar categories for each content type, which can be tedious and error-prone.

3. Enhanced search and filtering: Enables users to search or filter related content across different media using a single category.

Usage examples

• "Technology" category:

  • RSS: Tech blog feeds
  • Social Media: Product launch posts or tech news
  • Images: Infographics of technological advancements
  • Video: Gadget reviews or tutorials

• "Anime" category:

  • RSS: News about new anime releases (blogs, official websites...)
  • Social Media: Discussions about recent episodes (#onepiece on X with more than 500 likes)
  • Images: Fanart or series screenshots
  • Video: Anime trailers or analysis

This is why i ask for the option of Unified interface: Create a view that displays all content related to a category, regardless of its type.

This implementation would allow you to, for example, view all your anime-related content in one place, but still be able to distinguish between news, fanart, and videos if desired.

My point is if you enjoy something, you are going to look for it on different media, isn't it? If you like football you will look for news, websites, tweets of specialized accounts, videos on YouTube, etc. if you can (and again, it's an option! Not mandatory for every category you make) watch content of something you like in different content types without switching, isn't it better? There's no other app to do so.

Please tell me if you need a different approach to help you with my explanation.
