Fire! 🔥
HUMBLE BRAG:
we have the best search
does this only search the name? i cant find users with special characters and it would be great if it could search against historical values and petnames (nip81) and labels (nip32)
search with nip05 is coming. For 81 and 32, we'll see.
why i can't find myself. am i an impersonator? 💔
@praxeologist @npub13aa8...z3fg @Awiteb
we need to think about wot indexing in future and add weight to data. what do you think?
Same here, I can't find myself on npub.world. Tried searching by nickname and by npub 🤷♂️
Great job @Pip the WoT guy 🤙
@Vitor Pamplona when build-in-search of @Amethyst powered by @Vertex ? 🙏
great work ✊
Same 😂

search terms should have more than 3 letters, since we are using a trigram tokenizer. We should problably tell this in the UI @franzap .


what about i want to search for CIA?
yours is a popular name 😅 . Maybe we should add more rows in the results.
you get profiles that contain "cia" 

cool, thank you. 🫡
😂😂😂
how to see my follower count in your graph?
Very nice! Are you guys crawling all of nostr yourselves or is there an index/firehose for rent somewhere for this type of thing?
we are doing all ourselves.
yeah I know, our Firehose is inspired by yours. Not the same because we want to aggressively filter spammers, and we use internal metrics for that.

Good going. I can think of a few clients if they integrated this I'd be happy to pay a few sats per search, because those clients do most other things well. Not sure how payment might work. If you've tried Keychat, the way they have an integrated cashu wallet that just pays 1 sat to the relay for each message you send is quite nice—wonder how to achieve a UX like that in an integrated search DEV context.
This is great!
Now compare against #Coracle.
Primal's search is garbage for searching for profiles, but excels for advanced search.
Coracle already has web-of-trust built into the search results for profiles, though, so I have generally been using it for that purpose for a while.
Nice work @Pip the WoT guy !
Thanks for pointing out things we can improve. 🫡
Looks like you’ve built a useful service; congrats! Gotta love Nostr.

Awesome! Nostr search using the page rank algorithm (powering Google search). Comes with a DVM so it can be integrated into everything else.
Incredibly useful. Fantastic work! Can't be overstated.

I love Primal search because it lets me search my own notes .. hope npub.pub has advance search ?
🤫 

content is not coming anywhere soon. We'll remain focused on profiles for the forseable future
Very thoughtful. Is DVM a must?
this is a very interesting question. @franzap and I were so busy building that we haven't though out the payment aspect yet 😅
we can provide the same service in other ways, but a DVM is very straightforward to integrate and it has the benefits of being a native nostr event
I see. Thanks! The only thing left is the cost🤔
This shit is amazing!
Nostrpunks dev community is so underappreciated!
Zaping them is highly recommend (even symbolic zaps only)!

Yeah lots to unpack. It would be nice if integrations like could handle their own payment, maybe drawing from the users NIP-60 wallet with an approval popup. That way clients wouldn't have to collect and then pay the integration provider later as if they were collecting VAT.
Good job!
Question: Are you providing any kind of proofs client apps can easily check to be more certain that Vertex is not lying?
Or even better: with the request one could add some params as to how or what kind of proofs should be provided by such dvms, depending on use-case.
I might sound vague but you get the point I hope.

yes this is something we definitely want to explore in the future.
One idea, specific for recommend follows, is to provide some kind3s (or their IDs), so the user can verify client side if and how he's connected to all the recommended npubs. We are talking about 2N +1 kind3s as the worst case where N is the number of recommendations.
Muchos gracias. Gr8 work
@A₿del fgu starks to the rescue?
Could be an option.
We started some experiments to see how starks could be useful for Nostr.
Right now we are focused on delegate signature aggregation verification.

That's a cool use case!
This is a smart idea and could really save a lot of storage space & bandwidth for relays. We’d be happy to implement it in @HORNETS when it’s ready. 🐝

You keep going .. it’s impressive !
I still have problem to handle some uses of starknet but it’s fault 😏
