Description

Thanks to @weeman1337 we now have a diabolically efficient https://matrix.org/blog/archive/, that can leverage the near unlimited power and simplicity of Ctrl-F.

It could be a nice progressive enhancement to add filters à la https://ergaster.org/latest/ to filter out some categories (e.g. TWIMs can represent a significant number of entries and drown the rest in "noise")

Research direction

Start with the blog archive at https://matrix.org/blog/archive/ and compare its behavior with https://ergaster.org/latest/. Identify how archive entries expose categories, then add category filters such as excluding TWIMs while preserving the existing archive; done means visitors can filter the listed entries reliably.
