If yes, was that intentional, or just a first pass implementation? (Seems weird to not utilize DB-native indexes where available, unless they turned out to be too slow)

It's intentional. Using in-memory indexes remove some work to me. But in the long term it will probably be replaced with DB-native indexes.

I not done tests/benches with native indexes yet, but indexeddb (the db for the browser), in general, it's slow... so in-memory indexes help a bit.

Makes sense, I'm targeting native first so sqlite is what I'm interested in.

Right now my nostr app is a side-project-for-when-my-real-side-project-is-annoying-me so it'll probably be a long time before I get around to it, BUT if you don't beat me to it, I'll provide some benchmarks for sqlite at least.
