Nostr Web Client

Using notedeck is low-data mode for the flight. Works great:

- Doesn't load any media

- Because it uses a local relay, when it starts up it can look at the latest note it has for each query. It then adds a "since" filter for the remote query based on the last note. This is a simple method of saying "send me notes I don't have in this timeline"

- I only have my notifications column loaded, so on startup no data is used if there are no more notifications, other than the subscription request.

Observations: it's very fast, even on an airplane.

This is exactly how snort works, its pretty good, in some cases also negentropy is used which is much more accurate.

damus ios does too, but it can only do it on reconnect. does snort do it on first load? the new thing in notedeck is the initial nostrdb query of all your timelines, and then modifying the remote query based on the results from that.

Yep exactly, we first check the cache with the filter and then modify the filter with the since value before sending it

And this works for any filter ofc, except those which already have since/until/ids set
