I think clients could implement a web-of-trust based relay explorer. For instance, if you go to Amethyst's relay settings and scroll to the bottom, you'll find recommended relays based on how many of your follows are using them.
Amethyst doesn't have a way to explore a particular relay's feed, and it displays any and all relay types, not just public relays, so this feature has limited usefulness. However, it would be quite useful on a client like Jumble, which would allow you to browse that particular relay's feed before deciding to add it to your own relay list.
I am not sure how Jumble's explore tab orders the relays in the list. It seems random, as each time I refresh the page, different relays are at the top. Would love to see the option to sort relays in this list by how many of my follows are using them, geographical location, relay implementation, etc.
Are relay profiles a thing? I feel like they should be a thing. Each relay should store a unique note that gives helpful details about the relay's purpose and whether anyone can write to it, only those within a certain user's web-of-trust, or only whitelisted members (without doxing who they are).
