Two thoughts on this: 1. We need to get out of the mindset of β€œbuilding nostr apps”. We simply need to build great products that people want to use, and Nostr will be the underlying protocol. So totally agree with Jack on this. 2. In the long run, we will absolutely displace X and other closed platforms. It will be a grind, but we will wrestle away the network effects from gradually, then suddenly. View quoted note β†’

One of those products will be Web of Trust Service Providers, which calculate metrics that are personalized and portable. Portable means scores are calculated independently of clients, then communicated to clients using standardized methods like @Vitor Pamplona's NIP-85: Trusted Assertions. Several clients are already in the early stages of using TAs to integrate β€œTrust Scores” ranging from 0 to 100 that are calculated independently of the client. @Amethyst will be demo-ing this feature soon. I look forward to the day when @primal does the same! 😊 The main goal of the @nosfabrica 50 million sats #wotathon is to foster an ecosystem of WoT Service Providers like Brainstorm, Vertex, Relatr. What role can Primal take? Two options: 1) import metrics from an independent WoT SP; or: 2) build a Primal WoT Service Provider from scratch! Then use those scores internally AND make them available to use on other clients. Either of those options would be awesome, I think. View Article β†’
