I think we are discovering new aspects of nostr. We may need to add some sort of endorsement tag - different than following. I’ve seen this idea of endorsement and attestation in digital trade documentation, but it has not crossed over into nostr yet. The closest thing so far is attestation by nostr:npub1cn670f663n3ks02jnnlsvd5y88zjnefy8343ykaxs7y3nzzketrsrjwt8a

Picked

Yes the closest we got are showing who picked an app in an app pack (basically public favorites) and rolling that out for everyone soon, maybe once with more data we can show that first

It doesn't show me who follows it, maybe because I follow it and I already had samiz, only those who have a picked one

there is a rating nip PR, and an multplie endorsement nip PRs. No one uses them, which means the dataset is so small to be impossible to use correctly.

This is not meant to show which apps are good, but which apps are clearly impersonating others

Anyway, I think this a great advance. For me, I’ve boiled it down to: ‘how well-known is the signer in my web of trust?’ - nothing to do with reputation or endorsement, it’s organic, but heckuva great signal for TOFU.

yes, totally.

Semi related, not precisely the usecase i had in mind anyway, but i do wonder what you think, atleast in principle. I can appreciate the practicality of the immediate and near future reality of things you are dealing with, so its not something i expect to be a thing tomorrow, just to be clear:
