The fundamental purpose of Pretty Good Apps is to provide a proof of concept that genuinely decentralized, web of trust-based curation of knowledge is something that can be done, despite the fact that as of today, we still haven't truly done it. And once we do, it be incredibly useful! Of course, this hinges on the question: what do we mean by "genuine decentralization?" I hope this app will stimulate an examination of that question. See [DCoSL](https://github.com/wds4/DCoSL) for an introduction to this topic.

As of 23 June 2023, I am in the process of using using the basic tools of Curated Lists and building a third app: Curated Nostr Channels. With the Channels app, the user can select a topic (a "channel") such as monetary policy, nostr development, entertainment, sports, etc, and see a nostr feed focused on that topic. Don't see a topic you like? Add it! The list of topics, their arrangement in a hierarchy (e.g. movies is a subcategory of entertainment), and pubkeys that associated with a given topic will all be curated by your web of trust. Among other things, this will be a great tool to discover new users to follow.

Among other things, this will be a great tool to discover new users to follow.

tl;dr: My goal is for Curated Lists to prove that genuinely decentralized curation of knowledge is possible <i>in theory</i>, and for the Channels app to prove <i>utility</i>. Once those two points have been (hopefully) demonstrated convincingly, the next step will be to make an implementation that is sleek, snazzy, bug free, with good UX.
