What's your favorite update to a Nostr client or micro-service recently that others might have missed?

Follow hashtags. It’s allowed me to curate my own feed and find like minded people. I might be in an echo chamber but I got to choose who is in my echo chamber at least.
I never go on global feed anymore as result.
Hashtags are great for finding content. I assume you're talking about Damus finally adding them?
Yeh damus.
Also, helped me spark my idea for biblestr.com with the help of swarmstr.com dev nostr:npub178umpxtdflcm7a08nexvs4mu384kx0ngg9w8ltm5eut6q7lcp0vq05qrg4
I think hashtags can be a great way to build specific community focused clients.
They can...but also hashtags can be gamed and spammed. #foodstr
Yeh for sure. Wonder if there could be like zap to follow a certain hashtag would prevent spam? 🤔
POW/WoT are both possibilities. You could also have a data vending machine filter out spam from a given hashtag for you
🤯 that’s sounds like a good solution
I like it. nostr:npub1cc79kn3phxc7c6mn45zynf4gtz0khkz59j4anew7dtj8fv50aqrqlth2hf get to work 😂
Absolutely.
A hashtag is like a “meta kind” and most people do well enough with their follows.
I wonder if a ranking on follows and follows of follows etc can help curate a feed. Maybe challenge is a new user (and again we have clients help bootstrap people).
I implemented a very smart social graph reputation system designed by nostr:npub18mmjwlwqsuxgcp7lpmnxs2vjsvq7h9tc2u26zncr9t99xjrzhtsqwx4vcz into the open source arclib that assigns a score to each pubkey based on your social graph and NIP-32 ratings. I think it has a lot of merit for content rating and I'd love to get some more eyes on it:

The only contingency is we need NIP-32 ratings in the wild to assign a score so clients need to enable this in a convenient way. I have some good ideas about how to do this without a junky 5-star rating system but I need to make sure I can publish it first.
Awesome, I need to keep a closer eye on arcade, you guys keep actually putting together the things I want to put into coracle.
I'm happy to answer any questions 🤙
Can this be implemented into clients now to reduce spam?
Yes, but like I said it kinda doesn't work without clients also enabling simple NIP-32 ratings. But that isn't hard either.
You can see how a NIP-32 rating works here:

Thanks.
