So pumped to introduce Realtr, our shot at decentralized trust and Web of Trust.
Trust is not an absolute quantity but a deeply personal and contextual phenomenon.
Discover more about it at https://relatr.xyz.
We are currently running a public instance, which is the default on the site. With it, you can search for and calculate trust for given public keys. Still in the early stages, but it's currently quite solid. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and building this together!

Discussion
what WoT trust algorithm does it employ? GrapeRank, PageRank, something else?
It's something else, we got some inspiration from the QTS system proposed by nostr:npub1arkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqrrh43w basically it's just social graph distance plus other validations like nip05, ln, 10002s, etc weighted to end up with a normalized score. This approach is much simpler and less sophisticated than any page rank algorithm. However, the beauty of it is that it all boils down to floating point operations, making it easy to tune as you like. You can add your own validators and use them to get a ranking based on what you care about. It's also an experiment ;)
