Today I started to implement a new #WoT UX for #SatShoot .

Client-side Web of Trust is already working, taking extended social follows, mutes and reports into account.

New users are bootstrapped with SatShoot account follow network (can be switched off in settings)

Plan for improvements:

1. Implement Mutes as blocklists. Network (ppl you follow) mutes can remove from WoT but user-mutes (kind 10k) will hide blacklisted ppl from Services and Jobs feed.

You can still land on a profile page or service/job landing page of a blocked user avatar will be shown as blocked. DMs will be blocked from these ppl and there's no way to allow them in Reputation calculation. Only affects visibility

2. You will be able to show/hide ppl outside WoT in Job/Service feed

3. I will implement #Vertex analysis in Profile pages. I will query top 5 reputable follows (personalized). I will make this feature paid (thinking 100 sats / query) but Vertex is not yet able to handle ecash or LN payments easily so I will get some credits myself.

I'll cache the result so it will be reusable. Will show the user if he follows any of those reputable followers of the analyzed pubkey.

I think of this as sort of a fallback or extra info for the user to be able to trust more and eventually follow people in freelance context (kind30k) which is explicit trust in SatShoot.

Later community memberlists of uswr can be added as well, when they come alive.

Plan to demo this in the #wotathon later.

Thoughts?
