I just wanted to say I love zap.store and I use it for basically all my apk needs, by the way.

I like that you're keeping it somewhat closed for now, relying on your own relay with your own moderation, which to me is the right way to do it, as I said in nostr:naddr1qqyrze35vscrzvfcqyghwumn8ghj7enfv96x5ctx9e3k7mgzyqalp33lewf5vdq847t6te0wvnags0gs0mu72kz8938tn24wlfze6qcyqqq823c0z85e2

But also I think that ideally you wouldn't rely on a centralized API. Having it be an open protocol helps, of course, but still it's not ideal. For some things I guess a centralized API is the best choice (like it's better to use Git servers instead of publishing code blobs or deltas as Nostr events) but it feels like this is a task that wouldn't require one? Or maybe it can be redesigned to work more as a relay instead of as a different protocol entirely? I don't know, just throwing my thoughts. What is the WoT service provider doing after all?

Thanks 🫂 and as I said in my quote-note the situation will improve with everything I mentioned.

It is a way to get the "follows who follow" feature in an optimal way (fast, data efficient, and sorted by pagerank to improve recognizability - if that word even exists). With the tradeoff of partially trusting a service provider.

Great article, btw.
