Nostr Web Client

As I think about how I want to write my idea for a personal algo-relay, I'm butting up against numbers 1 and 4. I want to calculate my web of trust and generate feeds within that set of events. But I also want it to act like a client in the sky that supports outbox for me based on who's in that subgraph, basically a cache. It'll be interesting to see where that goes.

It's a centralizing idea, so I wouldn't want it to become so huge like primal's cache. It would have to be lightweight and easy enough for a motivated individual to run, though neo4j is more resource intensive than relational dbs. There isn't a good localized implementation of their graph model yet as far as I know. Sorry for rambling about this in your replies.

I have a neo4j instance that maintains a graph of about 200k nodes of users and their follow and mute connections. It can calculate personalized PageRank in about 15 seconds and is (as you would expect) better than any non graph method at generating a list of followers (or muters).

I’m thinking my next step is to pair neo4j with strfry and create an ETL pipeline from strfry’s LMDB to neo4j. Then neo4j can calculate reputation scores in real time, which we use to modify the strfry filters and keep out spam.

It seems to me that an ETL pipeline starting from LMDB should be pretty performant, in theory, although I haven’t run across any LMDB to neo4j tools. Relational db to neo4j tools are easier to find, on the other hand.
