I had an interesting idea for an alternate Discourse user agent, but it would require a topic list filter for created\_after.

Specifically I want this to work: `/latest.json?order=op_likes&created_after=2023-06-07`

Prior art: The bumped\_before query parameter exists in the opposite direction, but having it be a number of days feels like a mistake. I think `DateTime.parse(...).trunc(1.hour)` would give a good balance of caching and precision.

I think we have one now as part of the [Topics list filter feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/experimental-topics-list-filter-feature/263641), if that helps?

> [@Topics list filter feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topics-list-filter-feature/263641/1):

> `created-after:YYYY-MM-DD` created after specified date

Oh this looks good, this already returns fairly high quality results on Meta:

Hmm, the fact that this requires login is unfortunate, but very understandable.

That is just temporary, once it is completely done I expect we would open it up.

@tgxworld probably has more context.
