The bad thing and cool thing about Nostr is that clients do all the work that servers used to do for decentralized apps. This is kinda cool and bad for the user as phones overheat and battery life suffers. Iris for example, uses over 3 GB of disk space cache on your desktop and uses a lot of CPU power too

I think Nostr will be built in layers where convenient middleware smoothes out those problems but users still have the freedom to move around.

#[0] #[1] you're seeing some of it already with various relays that aggregate, filter and broadcast things for you.
