 My dream would to be able to ⭐ people's software releases. I'm always getting asked which software I recommend in which version and I'd like to have a list of everything I'd favorited or rated or whatever.

And I'd like to be able to see the ratings my favorite developers, testers, and power users have given. Then I could see what they'd ⭐, check it out and maybe add my own star.

2 ⭐ confirmations
45 ⭐ confirmations
147 ⭐ confirmations 

Now, show me the most-⭐ repos in category "budgeting" or "Bitcoin memes". Show me the trending repos (those most actively receiving stars). Etc. 
 I think it's quite revolutionary because, until this NIP, you had to go to a particular website to ⭐ stuff. Now you can ⭐ anything, anywhere you can point to it with some sort of internet identifier, using any client that writes and signs ⭐ notes, and your star can be evaluated by anyone reading from any relay you've written your ⭐ to.

You can star Beave's Blacksmithy webpage, Beth's Baked Goods e-bay site, Vitor's Amethyst release, Michael's newest NIP, whatever.
