Would make the app immediately fully usable rather than having to wait for it to catch-up. Granted some of the cached content will be phantoms after the relays are surveyed but probably not much. Thinking there must be a technical reason this is not how it's done?

Most clients don't have a disk database. And followers can easily get into the GB of information for more visible accounts.

GB?! Really? Why so much data for followers? Do you mean like because of millions of followers?

When local database in #amethyst ?
