Of not discovery. Or a late discovery. Or a wrong discovery.

If thats your nostr feed that could have a couple of hours or days or months of being affected, thats probably ok

If your banking app got updated from another source and your WoT helped to discover it in an hour - it may already be too late

So in case if you don’t actually care of the consequences of the attack - thats ok. If you do care, you want as much control as possible. And today WoT could give much less control than Apple

The point of a WoT-curated page for nostr apps will be so you can keep up to date and have fun discovering new apps and even new categories of apps that you didn’t know existed. You won’t even have to be logged in, unless you want to contribute / help curate. I see it as a playground to find out what WoT can do.

WoT has lots of uses, but no need to apply it for mission critical purposes before it’s ready.
