# Re-imagining nostr.directory
https://nostr.directory was a good and much needed idea for bootstrapping nostr and contact discovery but had a few things wrong with it:
- centralized - required maintenance, data, backups, processing
- spof - has built-in single point of failure, me as the bottleneck when I get distracted by life it stopped being useful
- raw data ≠ useful data - even though it was a good attempt to help people connect their online identity together, that data is useless unless it can be utilized by apps and users in a helpful way.
**Next Steps**
As pondered and discussed with nostr devs and users many times, nostr.directory can have and serve connection and identity data of each user, next much needed step is an actually usable, easy to understand “reputation score” to help nostr clients and microapps surface relevant content and weed out spam.
Important tenants of such a system will be:
- Opt-in: If a users does NOT want that “for you” page they don’t have to see it and use it.
- High Availability: once a user wants to curate their microapp using WoT data, it should be trivial for apps to implement it.
- Nostr Native: Completely open-source and self-contained repo including all processing, backups + nostr relay serving available data.
- Context Based Scores: Having a 0-100 reputation score is nice and clean but it’s also important to know each separate field of expertise can come with a “field specific score” which is to say, I may value npubx’s views on bitcoin related things but not on latest diet trends.
For this I’ll do some research to existing methods and put an early version out there and try to integrate it into existing apps maybe even write a few demo apps that utilize it. Will go from there.
All inputs are welcome and appreciated:

there's an important primitive missing if you want to build any data source into nostr.
how to stop sybil attacks? how to know who is lying and who has an army of voters to mess with a result?
hopefully we'll have a solution soon.

I think the only reason people use BREAKING on Twitter is that notifications show only the breaking part and then you have to click to see the rest.
Doesn't apply to nostr so useless.

censorship lol j/k aside it's kind of obvious when you run a name-selling service that people will buy them in order to re-sell them.
I think clients will need to take all of these into consideration and I don't foresee all NIP5 verification services being equal.

we have this functionality on nostr.directory. just need to login with twitter and then it will show your twitter follows that are on nostr and the put checkmark on the ones you're already following. but use with caution. it may mess up your follows if the data we fetch is outdated.

I'm in the same boat. That's a great micro-app idea. Dedicated/paid relay that will have great uptime + will not lose data. And then send yourself notes with tags or some title field. it's all encrypted anyway.
