Recently, we have been running Relatr completely unattended, monitoring it only for crashes. And guess what? Over the past two weeks, it hasn't missed a beat! There have been no crashes, no downtime, just a steady stream of requests handled with ease. This isn't just good news, it's a testament to Relatr's growing maturity and reliability, reaching the level of maturity that good software needs to have.
But we're not resting on our laurels. Next up, we're diving back into our ELO plugins system. This will allow anyone in nostr to publish validators or signals as nostr events, and any Relatr operator to compose their algorithms as desired based on those, with total transparency and composability.
This is how we win! 🚀

🧩 What if you could build your own trust algorithm like Lego: pick a few pieces, snap them together, and compose as you like?
That's what we're building for Relatr 🚀
For the past few weeks, we've been heads down on portable plugins, designing them as small, composable scoring modules you can create, share, and combine. For this we are using Elo a new expression language, something like a little program that turns expressions into a numeric output that Relatr can consume to build it's algo. It's designed for no code tools, so the idea is to make it accessible to everyone. And it's expressive enough to for example count notes, zaps, reactions, run graph computations like social distance checks, resolve NIP-05 addresses and much more.
The potential is wild. These new plugins are bundled as Nostr events, so anyone can create, share, curate, and use them. Operators can discover, mix, match, and tune their own algos without touching Relatr's source code.
This is portability and composability in action. Trust algorithms become shared infrastructure, not black boxes. Communities own their metrics.
Relatr is already the only fully open-source, self-hostable, customizable Web of Trust engine in Nostr. Making it more modular and collaborative is the next step
We're close. More soon 🔥
