Nostr Web Client

This is not a serious proposal, but maybe it is. I would like a way to verify that nostr users are actually humans. What if there was a way for two users that meet irl to both sign a note and post it that says they met and saw that the other person does actually exist. It would be like an additional layer to the WoT model. Then when you look at a person's profile it would say X people you follow have verified this user as human, and additionally X people you have verified as human verified this user.

It would encourage more irl interactions among users and be a way for new users to gain some credibility instantly of they are onboarded by a friend.

I'm sure all the devs that read this will think it's a great idea and can't wait to implement yet another note type into their clients. Again, not serious about this, but maybe serious.

We at Purple Konnektiv would probably be down for doing a round of this at meetups.

It's been nicer on Nostr, now that nobody claims I'm AI.

nostr:npub1w4jkwspqn9svwnlrw0nfg0u2yx4cj6yfmp53ya4xp7r24k7gly4qaq30zp weren't you talking about something like this?

Yes, I think it needs to underlie the data channels we make. If data can only flow between people who know each other then it is very hard for bad data to get in. The cost of rebuilding trust is too high.

I would like to build it, but I have no coding skills. I will try to work on a more detailed proposal though and flesh the idea out more. Having a note type that can be signed by two or more users could have other applications as well. I need to think about it more.
