The more I work on building some kind of functional outbox model for noStrudel the more I'm convinced local relays are the way to go. something that runs on your computer and does the hard work of fetching the latest events for you, then makes them accessible to all other nostr apps
And for those who will ask, my goal with adding outbox support to noStrudel is so I can finally get rid of the hard coded relays and to use it as a way to learn what works and what doesn't work
