With the addition of all those stupid Eberrant feats, the feats page has become seriously unwieldy. I know I've asked for this before but I can't seem to find the post so I'm making a new one, as this is fast becoming an emergency situation of the direst and most urgent kind.

OK, I think we've talked about this before, but I can't remember off the top of my head now. What do we want to filter on? Name, Stat, Tags, Source?
Tags and Race for sure. Should probably also do Name, Source, and Prerequisites. Stat would be nice, too. Maybe add some new tags, like "Spells" and "Proficiency".

Is it possible to somehow include either custom tags or search by notes? I often create things that I feel are missing, like for instance all the Charms from Tomb of Annihilation and the ones from the DMG, but I have no way to distinguish between them when searching for just "Charm of", without adding an ugly addendum to the name of the magical item (when are we getting boons, banes, charms, etc. btw?) or clicking on each one to see my little note (see: Charm of the Crystal Heart).

#1: Source. I know that's on the agenda for D&D Beyond campaigns as a whole, but yeah - I don't want to see feats (or anything else) for sourcebooks I don't own if I don't have to.
Hell, you could probably just make one choice for 'Only content I've purchased' vs. 'Everything available' and I'd be happy. And make it a global setting, so I didn't have to mess with it every time I opened the site.
I'm sure you get some sales from people seeing new cool stuff, but the sheer number of things available now is making it ugly for me. And opting me in to all these sources I'll honestly never buy is just annoying.
I'm not sure the granular filtering like you have in Spells warranted. I could see:
Exploration Social Combat Spellcasting Racial
That would probably be enough.
I'd also like to see the Racial feats sorted by the actual race names themselves. It's kind of a pain to have to look at the tiny subheads to figure them out after I've been away from them for a while.
Bogus, being able to see all the feats is part of some testing the devs are doing at the moment and in the future you won't be able to see feats you can't take.

This would be fantastic, just to throw an extra voice into the mix. If I could at least sort/filter by tags and prerequisites, I'd be happy.
It would also be nice if the Greater Dragonmarks and Spell Sniper feats were treated kind of like how choosing a race is in the builder. Those with subraces are just one line under the parent race. When you select the parent race, the subrace options appear below and tabbed in. Similarly, I would really only want to take a look at any of the Greater Dragonmarks if I was interested in possibly getting a Greater Dragonmark (forgive me for stating the obvious). So having the total group bundled within Greater Dragonmarks wouldn't detract from finding the feat when seeking it out, but would make the list look less cluttered when not seeking it out.
But, of the two, definitely the sorting/filtering.

Mostly, I'd like to see sorted by source. When I'm looking for a feat, I usually think "oh, hey, I want to see the racial feat for my tiefling" or "I need to look up the weapon feat options for my Fighter." So far, that's pretty much going to be sorted by book. Eberron has mainly Dragonmarks and the one oddly racially restricted weapon feat.

Yes please.
Yes, sorting and filtering by source, race, etc.
Fatti non foste a viver come bruti ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza
Well, yeah, I mean, I kinda figured that was implied.

Yes, you're right. I just wanted to emphasize it.

I'm going to say that this is my #3 request.

I am the Inquisitor Imperitus. I am judge, jury, and executioner. Draw your last breath now, as I send you to the Nine Hells.
Prerequisite, maybe?
Could we please filter on race too please?

Old school knowledge / without all the baggage
I'm not sure the granular filtering like you have in Spells warranted. I could see:
Exploration
Social
Combat
Spellcasting
Racial

I'd also like to see the Racial feats sorted by the actual race names themselves. It's kind of a pain to have to look at the tiny subheads to figure them out after I've been away from them for a while.

And it would be helpful to only see the feats I can really take. It makes no sense to show any racial feats I cannot take anyway.
Maybe with a toggle if the dm allows feats that you couldn’t normally take.

Ah very good. Didn’t know that.

Then you'd have to remember which feat is in which book. No thanks.
