Yeah notedeck works this way. Me and nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8 are working on making ios work this way as well.

notes are cached locally on iOS, we just don't fetch from there on startup yet. The nostrdb version there is old and doesn't have query capabilities.
Ok, that makes sense. 🫡
