I can’t see why this approach can’t work for Nostr in a decentralised world. When identities update their profile, client apps can optionally accept the photo/name changes. Kind of like the original pet names NIP concept, extended to include photo.
I’m still kind of surprised I haven’t seen a Nostr client app that has a consolidated likes/zaps view based on what the people I’m following, have reacted to. It’s a pretty simple algo to start with, without weird manipulation.
Pretty sure it’s just get all kind 7/zap where authors = who I follow, since 24 hours ago, and then extract e tags, perhaps rank based on unique count/amount/etc and fetch events.
Here’s a early draft of a possible way we can define Nostr services in a common way. It has a lot of gaps, however I'd like to start by gather use-cases we want to support.
Ideally other services can include premium relays, CDNs, trending APIs, POW, etc.
Early feedback welcome. Can create a formal PR/Issue for this, so we can collaborate more easily.
