jajaja love the name
Just web.
You can use a (frost) bunker to login on mobile.
I might experiment with NIP-55 (Android-based, like Amber).
Is there a way to create a network map visualization of this data instead of endless lists?
😎
Ah, that's amazing and you gave it a great name! How fun!
"Trouble finding friends? Use Yoink!" 😅💜
Yoink is the act of grabbing/snatching...
"Yoink them from someone else!"
Friends are like nostr events. I can't elaborate because I'm tired, but it makes sense. 😅
Couldn’t get it to work when opened from within primal in iphone in read only mode. Will try it on web later. Love the name!
Any suggestion on how the map could be presented?
Did you get any error? At which step?
I don't have an iphone to test it right now, but it's just a web app. I just tested Safari on macos and it works fine.
Can it use my preferred Trust provider from NIP-85?
It could be a good idea! I will take a look.
Your use case seems different so it might need some extra features (e.g. getting the users with the highest scores from my networks in the topics I like)
But maybe just showing how my provider scored people in my algo is already good enough.
First google search sows something like this:
So if you select a person on the list you would see who you both follow, and who else they follow that might lead to an increase connection coefficient.
Lots of ways to do the visualization, either static or dynamic. Network topology is a new science, but Obsidian has some of the best data graphs that I've seen.

This is my favorite blockchain visualization. Imagine something like this for following/followers, or even posts/comments to show the provenance record.
What's the definition of "rank" in this specs?
this:
0-100, where 100 is the most trusted by the providers algo.
I see the type and the range, but I don't understand the "trust" meaning. Is it totally arbitrary, by the provider?
probably in your case a last note mechanism is more interesting than the trust value, so for example I would see a high value of brugeman and that has interacted with you but is no longer active
In fact I noticed that NIP-85 doesn't have a last_created_at result, I was going to open a PR.
There is likely a way to calculate the connection coefficient from Network Science.
This is something that is very hard to achieve purely client side, since it is data and cpu intensive.
About the visualization: graphs are cool, but they should really offer a useful perspective, and I don't see much possible innovations here; a graph of names/pictures is quite useless without any segmentation about interests and activity patterns.
A WoT score like Coracle.social could probably be sufficient to highlight contacts that have a good trust level.
@hodlbod can you share your experience about implementing the WoT?
Wot client side is expensive, but not prohibitive. You only need to download your follow's follow events to get decent coverage. As nostr grows and second order connections become more important though, a server side component will be more necessary to get good coverage
Yes, since the second order is feasible, I could explore this possibility. Thanks!
A server side service that gathers data and presents actionable intelligence about how to build our networks and how to grow the overall Nostr ecosystem would be a service worth paying for.
I think is doing that.

Thanks for pointing me to that! @Pip the WoT guy is absolutely doing what I described, and deserves more attention!
Thanks! I really appreciate
