The problem
Search results are ranked by whoever pays for placement or games the algorithm best.
People have no say in whose judgement shapes what they find.
What Megistus built
Trust-ranked results
Results ranked using trust signals from the searcher’s own network on Nostr.
Open scoring
The scoring that decides the ranking is public, so anyone can check how a result got where it is.
Self-hosting
A one-click deployment, so a community can run its own instance.
How it works
- 01SearcherTheir follows and mutes
- 02BrainstormScores trust across their network
- 03ResultsRanked by people they trust
- The ranking starts from the searcher’s own network, so results reflect people they already trust.
- The code is public, so the ranking can be inspected rather than taken on faith.
