Users own their identities and data, promoting privacy and sovereignty. + +### Why It Matters +Enhanced Content Curation: By understanding the semantic meaning and weights of relationships, users receive content that's more relevant and engaging. +Scalability: Automated tagging and weighting mechanisms scale effortlessly, accommodating growing networks without compromising performance. +Rich Interactions: Users can engage in more meaningful ways, as the network understands the context and nuances of each relationship. + +### Semantic Graphs in Pubky App + +The Pubky App is a user-friendly platform that showcases the capabilities of Pubky Core and PKARR. + +**Social Tagging:** Users can tag posts, files, links, and even peers with meaningful labels. This enriches the semantic content of the network. +Customizable Feeds: By utilizing tags and weighted relationships, users control what appears in their feeds, ensuring content relevance. +**Peer Tagging:** Assign semantic tags to peers, influencing how their content is weighted and displayed. +**Web of Relevance:** Move beyond the traditional Web-of-Trust paradigm to a network where relevance and context drive interactions. + +### How Pubky Applies Decentralized Networking and Social Graphing +Pubky combines decentralized identity, semantic social tagging, and weighted relationships into a cohesive system that offers unparalleled user control and personalization. + +**Semantic Social Graphing** +Weighted Distances: Relationships aren't just connections; they have weights that represent their strength or relevance to the user. + +**Advanced Content Curation** +Personalized Feeds: Users define what content matters to them, and the network delivers it based on semantic relevance and weighted relationships. +Dynamic Filtering: Adjust your view of the network in real-time by modifying tags and weights, ensuring your feed evolves with your interests. + +### Why It's Different +Pubky bridges the gap between decentralized identity management and personalized content curation, something traditional models haven't achieved. +Enhancing Privacy and Security: By eliminating centralized points of control, Pubky reduces vulnerabilities and enhances user privacy. +Promoting Open Innovation: As an open-source project, Pubky invites developers and enthusiasts to contribute, fostering a community-driven evolution of the platform.
