this is exactly the starting point for the project that evolved into credo (8 yrs ago)..

the WoT, (or as I termed it credibility graph in the app), can be a powerful mechanism for a whole host of applications, but this basic idea was the first one

but you need a viable graph before this becomes useful, and the problem with a stand-alone resume-focussed app is that people don't change jobs that often, so they don't feel the network

linked in didn's start out as a job platform either, nor could it survive without the social-marketing uses

one of the other problems is that the current social WoT isn't actually as useful for skills matching, it's not precise enough to score skills on, more of a 'who you know' thing

key idea of credo was to allow ratings of people/content by topic of expertise/interest, and use those to compute graph scores.

we're close to releasing a reboot of credo on nostr, should be fun to try it out

Wot not meant to be something to score skills on, more of an additional filter. We also have the social mechanism- the best one.

why not score skills? the purely social mechanism broadly tells how good someone's at.. well, being social

nostr devs as case in point, i bet there are tons of good devs that have low WoT because they're busy coding, not shitposting
