RE: Sometimes I want to see resteems. Sometimes I don't.

Yes, I think the option to switch off resteems is useful.

But I still don't know how I should deal with my personal needs.
In principle, resteems are not bad at all: if it's about special or very important articles or about making a new, obviously good user known who you would otherwise never meet within your little bubble. That's why I would leave resteems switched on. BUT: I have already pre-sorted. I only follow users who don't overdo the resteems. Anyone who forwards something every day, who forwards the contests or challenges (because it is sometimes even required - really annoying!) has NO chance of being followed by me.
Can I use your tool to distinguish between unimportant and important resteems...?! ;-D

That would be a useful enhancement. The "Steem mind-reading extension"😉. Long term, I suppose it would be possible to provide more useful filtering than all or nothing, though. Account lists could be maintained, for example, to filter resteems of posts from accounts that require resteems for their contests - similar to how ad-blockers maintain lists of advertising sites. This hadn't crossed my mind, and maintaining such a list is beyond my reach as a part-timer, but I'll keep this need in mind for future possibilities.
