Filtering text / articles by category, V.7

Site URL: https://ellakaleta.com/words-of-wisdom

Hi guys,

I'd like to be able to sort my articles (text only) by subject categories.

The page I'm referring to in particular: https://ellakaleta.com/words-of-wisdom with the categories being: culture, activism, etc. at the top.

The effect I'm going for is like this exemplar page: https://www.honuboba.com/shop, where products can be selected by category. The difference is the latter is V.7.1 and uses images/products. I'd like to achieve the same function with V.7.0 and text only.

I have attempted a workaround with converting articles into blog posts, and using a summary block, but this isn't quite what I'm after, as I'd like to be in control of the length of the excerpt, and have all excerpts display on one page - with an option to filter by category.

If it's not possible to create the simple "selection menu" as the example above, does anyone know how to create chips/pills that have the same function? See the image attached.

Have no coding knowledge, so any help will be greatly appreciated, 

Thank you! 🙂
