It is my belief that a local relay is critical for the success of outbox model. We don’t have to worry about the results of random relays messing up our UI by via bogus query responses. The networking code can do whatever model it wants (relay pool, outbox, inbox). The developer only talks to the local relay and doesn’t know or care how the notes got there.

Sorry for quote replying but I think these are good questions and want to share my thoughts nostr:note1u6hd3afwk6ztgr5sy2pj52zdq36astzrmjrl0g3564e45gu6s3wqel8xur

So the local relays are primarily for backing up?

Okay, the answer is already in this

It’s also the only way clients will work for the majority of the world who don’t have 24/7 internet connections. Its forward thinking

Is the local relay an abstraction that does all the fancy nip65 comms outside of the app logic? Or will it be a full relay that other user's clients can query?

The former. Its not meant to be queried outside of the app

Gotcha.

No need to apologize, this is great. I'm eager to try out Damus android when it's ready.
