Playing around with LLM summarizing and scoring the questions. I'm hoping it can help me solve 2 things:

Identify what is a real question: Some people just use #asknostr to make a statement (instead of asking a question) 🤣. Using a question score allows me to filter out non-questions.

Get to the point: Some questions are long/do not get to the point. Random example https://asknostr.site/question/note1r2ap3ayd0c4y54t3f44w8c0xx4avyskm4vt08uu8rup0axvqyhzq4znhlw was summarized to "When Kelis sings that her "...milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...," is she really referring to her breasts?"

In Quora most questions are a one-liner/summary which works well for overviews, meta data, 'relevant other questions' etc...

What do you think. Is this the best area to spend my time on asknostr.site?

I'm not sure how you should prioritize your time, but I would suggest a sort of "baseline freedom algorithm" for any LLM filtering, something like this:

The user has a toggle at the top of the UI to flip between soft filter and hard filter. A link nearby explains the details.

The soft filter and hard filter also change the color scheme of the UI, at least slightly. This is really useful, not just cosmetic - screenshot context clarity, etc.

If at least 7 of the last 10 posts are currently questions, the toggle defaults to soft filter for all users. If something is flagged as a non-question, it gets a red or yellow box around it saying it might not be a question, and the site won't accept any more non-question from that npub for 12 hours. They get an auto-reply explaining this. If they submit another non-question after their 12 hour cooldown, it goes through again, but their new cooldown doubles to 24 hours, then 48 if it happens again, etc.

If the site has 2 or 3 non-question posts in a row to display, then instead of showing them fully, the user just sees a little box saying "x number of posts might not be questions, click here to display them"

If at least 4 of 10 recent posts on display are non-questions, then the user gets a warning saying "something is wrong, hard filtering enabled by default" and unless the user toggles back to the soft filter, the site just skips loading anything flagged as a non-question.

A precursor to this could also just be the soft filter mode without the toggle

I like the soft filter/toggle idea. Not digging the complexity to explain or implement. Let me think about this

Already pretty cool to see the site launched, take your time
