this is exactly the starting point for the project that evolved into credo (8 yrs ago)..
the WoT, (or as I termed it credibility graph in the app), can be a powerful mechanism for a whole host of applications, but this basic idea was the first one
but you need a viable graph before this becomes useful, and the problem with a stand-alone resume-focussed app is that people don't change jobs that often, so they don't feel the network
linked in didn's start out as a job platform either, nor could it survive without the social-marketing uses
one of the other problems is that the current social WoT isn't actually as useful for skills matching, it's not precise enough to score skills on, more of a 'who you know' thing
key idea of credo was to allow ratings of people/content by topic of expertise/interest, and use those to compute graph scores.
we're close to releasing a reboot of credo on nostr, should be fun to try it out

I complete agree that we don't yet have a long-term viable economic model for nostr.
But even as I say it, what is that model for http, smtp, torrent?
There isn't really one. What we have are killer apps, or more accurately, killer businesses that were built over these protocols.
These businesses are centralised, by their very definition, though they eventually cluster into ecosystems, and perhaps nostr makes that bit interestingly different in that businesses *may not* need to evolve in a cannibalistic, scorched-earth manner in order to be viable, but rather focus on being good at what they offer and good for the ecosystem...
I think about this a lot as I pursue a business idea on nostr, and as much as I love the enthusiasm, the energy and the relatively high IQ density here, it's also clear that we're not close to escape velocity yet.

I've observed that this type of negativity is simply just something that the intellectuals like to hide behind, either out of laziness or more often, to avoid being perceived as slow to grasp it, late to the game.

perhaps make cookies require a permission, just like access to location, access to mic, etc. and the browser would let you auto-set
except the most popular browser's maker needs them cookies for their core business..

an app that keeps me upto date on what's going on - that filters the noise yet reaches beyond far beyond my follow list, brings to me what i value and yet doesn't hog my attention, where i'm happy to pay-per-use and because it saves me time and keeps me informed, where i get rewarded for helping others stay credibly informed
it almost exists, but not yet

it's cool, but what problem does this solve?

2024-07-17 11:15:07

Top nostr priorities are:
1 content / user discoverability
2 quality assesment and filtering
3 ease of use
"other stuff" won't happen if social doesn't work, there just won't be the critical mass foundation, the general functional substrate for all the "other stuff" to be useful

i like this a lot, been thinking about composability in general and specifically about discoverability and relay logic
lists are the closest, but as you say, they're generic, and making per-user lists would be unwieldy
complicating relays in this is a big departure from being 'dumb'
so i wonder if optional 'indexers' are the way, i think many clients are already doing it (certainly primal), and everyone keeps doing it their own way, we'll eventually see the clients become walled gardens
ofcourse the downside is that indexers become de-facto sources for most, but as long as they're easy to implement/stand up (i'm even thinking in-browser personal indexers), the same argument used for relays is used for indexers - and there's always the option of just querying relays directly
the upside of shareable feed logic and the reduction of loads on relays due to indexers aggregating (most of) the querying feels worth it

Threads are hard to do because of a number of reasons, such as no ability to actually query replies to a note, but especially difficult because of how to represent threads in a batch-updated reverse chrono feed that’s asynchronously loaded from various-distant relays. I can send you a whole paper on the UX considerations that I wrote as part of tackling it myself.
It’s hard but not impossible, I haven’t seen any clients do it well yet.

Agreed. Yet the second one is much harder to exercise in the age of digital content overload. Better tooling is needed, as nostr grows it makes it both acutely needed and plausible.
