Nostr Web Client

General #Nostr #algorithm proposal for presenting content from followers in a highly relevant manner:

1. Chronologic posts for the last hour. This contains the latest posts in realtime without any sorting.

2. Posts grouped and sorted into hourly rollups by zaps, likes, and comments for today. This provides a better scrollback beyond realtime. Posts that recieved more engagement come first, for each hour on the day.

3. Daily rollups for this week, truncated to the top 15%, expandable on demand. This provides a deeper scrollback with only the top content of the week.

4. Weekly rollups for this month, truncated to the top 10%, expandable on demand.

5. Monthly rollups for this year, truncated to the top 5%, expandable on demand.

The idea here is to present the best timeline to the user within the bounds of their follower's content and without hiding or eliminating any content, just intelligent sorting and common sense truncating/expanding.

In fact, it might only work at the client/application layer since other relays would pollute the ordering.

I know Primal has their own backend that sits in front of relays. This type of behavior will probably become the norm.

Well thought out, you would have to turn on just that relay to get the experience. I don't know if it would be a pattern but we can see new clients behaving this way.

It's too much to ask a user to disable other relays to get this UX; best for the application itself to multiplex the user's relays, index them, then provide this view into their content.

Yes, I agree that the experience is not good.

I'm not a developer. But I would find value with an option that resides on the client.

With following options:

1- Algo on/off

2 - weekday lunchtime Algo. I have a few minutes and want to see higher weighted content based on specific criteria

3- weekend evening Algo. I have more time and different attributes are applied to content that is more broad.

I can set this on my end via my client and effects no one else's feed.
