🚨 Today I'm launching Ontolo. 🚀
Ontolo is a super simple micro-app that will hopefully entice everyone spend a bit of time labeling other Nostr events. NIP-32, if you're not familiar, allows anyone to label/review/comment on any nostr post. It's an insanely powerful concept (thanks @npub1jlrs...ynqn, who wrote the NIP), but it's still pretty underused in clients.
Why would you want to have labeled events?
1. Discovery: Labeled events can be used directly by social clients–like @Damus or @npub12vkc...pugg when trying to suggest content that users might like.
2. Training data: We're at the gates of the era of AI. Classification algorithms and machine learning have been pretty good to classifying content but with a training dataset they can become WAAAAAY better. Hopefully, labels in Nostr will become a public good that all clients can lean on to create their own AI models for discovery, onboarding, and a hundred other things I've not thought of.
This is an experiment, like all of them, so please hit me with your feedback. Expect more fun social features soon. 🫂 LFG!
Thanks to everyone who helped me think through this over the last few days, from Tokyo until now.
