it will definitely make a big difference to simplify and untangle the mess on the client but advanced features like pagination and full text searches and a set of HTTP API endpoints and ultimately stuff like enabling a relay to act as a proxy will take us even further yet
this is why i'm onto my third shot at building a good relay, first was a total mess, because i mostly followed fiatjaf's stuff, second one i went off and learned a lot of stuff about how to implement things better, and out of all this experience i am keeping some of the simple parts of what fiatjaf and mattn and others (like utxo) did, and building the core parts from scratch, the database, the socket handling and auth handling, i should finally get to the point where i can say "and now here comes the new stuff born of all the complexities and mistakes" that i will bring and will open up easier development of especially web clients by being web native.
