So this is the king of thing I had in mind. Just quickly mocked this up so I can communicate better. I added the ability to have multiple filters and tags to be thorough. My wish is purely to have the ability to filter by location and I don’t care if it was just one filter without the ability to filter by tags. I have just added these to show the possible future capabilities this feature could provide. I also forgot to add [range OR distance] in the personal filter page. Which could be used to search a certain distance around a specific location or place. I also forgot to add in a small checkbox which could be added to the search functionality to use the filter while doing a global search.. I think this would be great as it would provide a way for people to filter out noise on the homepage or within the categories. Showing only posts relevant to their region and/or interests. I’ve looked at the Mobile View and note that showing the “Filter: On” would not work as easily as the Desktop View. I am quite happy to continue doing designs based on ideas, feedback in relation to how we could implement something like this. I realise this would be a lot of work on the coding front. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/8/4/8447fb09461a63ff4a75f51137b96976fbf58377.jpg) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/c/5caea8a59bbff5e0f002ea666bc696165e5c5f76.jpg) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/5/55409cb9aad2f42112ac12e12c34038bf3a6e23b.jpg) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/4/64d04f6ca437237017888d2b43348bca56099b2a.jpg) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/8/58a0ffd90164e201d28d4a8265afd2fe74e11bdf.jpg) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/0/407ecb9552cba4f208b0bf760ed9347cad67afb2.jpg) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/location-based-filter/32736)._
