If there is a metric within Web-of-Trust that can be calculated by apps, it should be surfaced and normalized.
Discussion
Not sure. Suggestions on what you would do? Some sort of a score?
I'm not sure either. Would have to evaluate the type of data Web of Trust allows for.
I think a score based on a weighted average of explicitly followed high-trust relays would be a solid start. It moves beyond passive followership and measures active, decentralized curation.
WoT Score = \sum (\text{Trust Level} \times \text{Relay Quality})
This metric could tell you not just how many people follow you, but how many trusted communities have vouched for you.
Coracle does a good job of it last I checked but it’s been a while. Also the dev is a based Christian dad from Idaho
