This post was a good example of the new Related feature.
Sure enough, the earlier post (from a few months ago) that had shared the same Zion V2 announcement link then showed as the first entry in the results for the Related drop-down.

Jack: web5 is happening links to 3 month old blog post talking about plans to build on web5
Exciting to think we might see it in the wild eventually though.

I wonder if there are any other projects (either existing LN ones or completely new ones) that are working on Web5 today

Possibly in stealth. But given that Jack had to dig deep on this one, I suspect there aren't many working with it publicly.

Love how Jack snuck this in under the Elon firestorm...
Seems like a slight evolution of that Sphinx, Breez and even SN are doing with identity and LN.
Wonder how this will layout with the Bitcoin community and Elon Twitter vs Zion communities + substacks and the lot.
Interesting days ahead.

What's Web5? What happened to Web4?
