Most people on Nostr today don't know where their Nostr stuff is. That's a huge problem.

Nostr is only censorship resistant if you know where ALL of your stuff is and who can get, use, limit and delete them. If you don't know where your stuff is, and if your stuff is indeed ALL there, then you can be controlled just like centralized big tech.

If we can bring it all to the phone and use that as a source of truth to start easily testing which relays are accepting or deleting some of your stuff, with some good/easy UIs, we can change this dynamic.

We need personal relays. Either built into the clients, or plug n' play that anyone can set up on phone, desktop, raspberry pi, etc. Easy enough for a luddite to setup.

Yep, but outside clients. Those things should be separate. Otherwise everyclint gets a database that duplicates everything from another client. If you have 10 clients running, you get 10 copies of everything on your phone.

True, I agree. Could be solved via a "check duplicate clients" function.

Users are 8yr olds. Asking them to download 5 different things (client, relay, messenger, etc) just overwhelms them and causes abandonment. They want easy, turnkey, and everything done for them automatically. With options for further customization.
