I actually want to build a Discovery tool. I have a real open question though. If you could give a few sats to an open source DVM so it would index your content from a relay you supply and make it searchable, would any of you do it?

I would need more education
discovery tool is my #1 request
An effective search requires an index. In a decentralized system, the index canāt find all the content unless someone tells it where to look. Looking up content, indexing and storage take resources, so it canāt be done well or long term for free. I want to make a DVM that would take a npub and a list of relays and index the events for a fee. The same DMV would then serve the results of a search as a list of nostr events that match the query. Users keep the index alive by adding to it.
do it.
if it's good, people will pay š¤·
if it's a good service, I'd be happy to pay for one. I'm sure there will be a decent amount of competition here eventually
