WoT on Nostr Visualized

i guess so.
just a nice helping visualizer to help myself and others understand WoT / this version of it at least.

(side it doesn't seem like you can change the steps in iris?)

There's also the steps function, meaning 'also show me posts from people they follow'.
Example:
I've set my WoT to 1 with step 0, User-A (whom I follow, and I see their posts) is following User-B (whom I don't follow, and I see their) who is following User-C (whom I nor User-A is following, and I don't see their posts).

If I've changed the step to 1, then I can also see User-C's posts.

I think I'll add that to the visualizer too.

There are a bunch of ways clients might handle their Web of Trust (WoT), and I guess the simplest / straightforward one is:

if you set up your WoT at 0, then it would show only posts from people who haven't had any of the people you follow mute them.

If it's set at 1 or 2, it would show posts from people you have been followed by at least 1 or 2 people you follow.

If it's set at -1 or -2 then it would show posts from people that have been muted by 1 or 2 of the people you follow.

Gist: You don't see posts from behind the number you set.

Even though it's the basic/simplest version of WoT, it still might be confusing to people or hard to grasp, so I thought I'd quickly make an interactive visualizer for it.

Hope it helps in understanding it! (this is basically the same of what's on coracle.social) :
