+
+Reactions
+---------
+
+`draft` `optional` `author:jb55`
+
+A reaction is a `kind 7` note that is used to react to `kind 1` text notes.
+
+The generic reaction, represented by the `content` set to a `+` string, SHOULD
+be interpreted as a "like" or "upvote".
+
+A reaction with `content` set to `-` SHOULD be interepreted as a "dislike" or
+"downvote". It SHOULD NOT be counted as a "like", and MAY be displayed as a
+downvote or dislike on a post. A client MAY also choose to tally likes against
+dislikes in a reddit-like system of upvotes and downvotes, or display them as
+separate tallys.
+
+The `content` MAY be an emoji, in this case it MAY be interpreted as a "like",
+or the client MAY display this emoji reaction on the post.
+
+Tags
+----
+
+The reaction event SHOULD include `e` and `p` tags from the note the user is
+reacting to. This allows users to be notified of reactions to posts they were
+mentioned in. Including the `e` tags enables clients to pull all the reactions
+associated with individual posts or all the posts in a thread.
+
+The last `e` tag MUST be the `id` of the note that is being reacted to. 
+
+The last `p` tag MUST be the `pubkey` of the event being reacted to.
+
+Example code
+
+```swift
+func make_like_event(pubkey: String, privkey: String, liked: NostrEvent) -> NostrEvent {
+    var tags: [[String]] = liked.tags.filter { 
+    	tag in tag.count >= 2 && (tag[0] == "e" || tag[0] == "p") 
+    }
+    tags.append(["e", liked.id])
+    tags.append(["p", liked.pubkey])
+    let ev = NostrEvent(content: "", pubkey: pubkey, kind: 7, tags: tags)
+    ev.calculate_id()
+    ev.sign(privkey: privkey)
+    return ev
+}
