It's great to see other products that put people first and in control of their experience online. I believe this is a trend that we will continue to see unfold going forward. I hope that Twitter continues to allow developers to build products like this, although I can also see them removing API access if it significantly limits their impressions, reach, or engagement. Great work!

thank you lot! We are really glad that you liked it! Also, don't worry, we don't use twitter API at this point. We used it before for training our algorithm, but now it is independent of their API.
Haha great product name 😄
Maker
thank you! :)

Hi, Product Hunters! We are pleased to show you our chrome extension that blocks tweets about U.S. 2016 elections. Looking forward for your feedbacks!
“Ostrich” would be an appropriate name.
Maker
haha, well, we didn't think about this :)
Great job! Is it possible to set what text will be shown instead of original tweets? I mean how to change: "This text is about US election 2016" to something else.
Maker
sadly, it is not available right now :( But we will think what we can do about it!
This works a lot like the Kardashian blocker. Nice job!
Maker
haha, thank you!
I love twitter but the election rants are too much, get out and vote but don't use 140 character rants to make up your mind.
Maker
totally agree! Most of the tweets about politics are not informative at all and don't help in making decision. That is why we created this extension :)
This appeals because I'm one of the millions often assumed to be in the U.S just because I speak English, but ignorance of politics enables those ruling over you to get away with even more.
Maker
thank you! Yes, politics should not be totally ignored and we don't discourage people to vote. But sometimes politics appear where you didn't expect them to be and it just really annoys most of the people. What we wanted to do is to give people an option to hide it and make their experience in twitter better.
As a non-american, I was thinking of quitting Twitter before seeing this...
Maker
wow! We are really, really happy that helped you, thank you for your feedback!
Haha, great product! Curious to know how you are using Artificial Intelligence...
Maker
well, that is not a secret! I can send you direct message in Twitter, if you want
thanks. That would be great! I am always excited about new applications of A.I. My twitter handle -
Maker
