I've built Bluenotes, a fork of the Bluesky app with Community Notes. Phase 1 beta is live.
bluenotes.social
Looking for thoughtful early testers. The algorithm needs data from diverse perspectives before it can identify helpful notes, so we're building that foundation first.

Interesting writeup, i think one idea that is sort of similar to the UUID approach would be just using Tags to create ad hoc community spaces without central authority. Posting a record with
