1) Yes, events at the top. ISBN, URI, Podcast ids... can all be part of events, but they are not the addressable entity.

Same problem for when you're looking for all articles, replies, etc... on a Bach concerto. Wikis are the solution.

The best wiki entry (for you) on that concerto will aggregate everything around it (tailored to certain niche) and have all the identifiers (event and non-nostr) in there.

And the best Wiki app (for you) will aggregate the best Wiki entries (for you).

2) I think :90percent: of general Rating systems are useless on a protocol where you have replies, zaps, discussions, articles, ... on the thing you're looking to judge/compare.

If you want to know if Jane Eyre is something for you, I think we have better options:

A) Personalized summaries of the data around it.

(data that people are publish regardless of general apecs trying to make them rate stuff according to their standards).

B) Specialized Comparing apps (that use whatever metrics they find useful for the niche they're catering to)

C) Is Jane Eyre even a thing in my network?

Yes! Exactly.

I guess the fact that you can rate and like and zap and reply to nonexistent things sounds really clever, but I just want a thing. 😭

I think I'm only going to do ratings directly on the publications because Beave really wants them, and otherwise skip them.

They're making my head hurt.

How do I rate "stoic philosophy" without there being a wiki page about stoicism? And am I then rating the philosophy or the page?

If I rate an ISBN of Jane Eyre, am I rating that edition or the content of the novel? What if I loved the story, but didn't like the font and found too many typos?

It's like on Amazon, when you go to look at the reviews of a coffee machine and people are bitching about how the postman dropped it on the doorstep and give it 0 stars.
