Idea: Have a validator "coolness" index

[freak12techno]

For newbies in crypto and especially in Cosmos, it's difficult to choose a validator, so usually they stake with either one of the top validators, or with those with lower commission.

It'd be nice to have a validator's "coolness" index and use it for sorting.
Some ideas on which data to use for it that can be fetched from chain (obviously marketing contributions or some other contributions cannot be fetched directly from chain, but some data can be used):

• governance participation
• slashing history
• commission changes
• commission/mac commission
• something opposite to ranking (e.g. more points if a validator has lower stake)

I'm pretty sure that's quite difficult to achieve technically, but my goal here is not to propose a feature, but rather spark a conversation on that and see what the team does think of that. What do you think, is it worth it?

Yeah, these are really good features.
However, Ping dashboard is a light explorer which doesn't have middle layer, so it would be difficult to access those data that is needed to implement above features.

slashing history is possible, will try to add it.
