NostrDB is probably one of the most important projects on Nostr.

If we can make it easily portable for Android, web apps, and PC, it will truly provide developers with a way to offer a more reliable and smooth experience.

IMO, we should do everything we can to make this possible.

I'm about to implement replaceable events in nostrdb and just had an idea that fix the contact-list unfollow problem for good:

when replacing a note with a new note, generate a "delta", which is the difference between the old and new note (tags, contents, etc).

This delta can be quite small, so it can be done automatically for all replaceable events.

This would enable any nostrdb app (damus ios, notedeck, etc) to "self-heal". it could detect simulatenous follow and unfollows and discard the unfollows.

You could also use this to show diffs in longform posts, and follow/unfollow histories for all users in your local db.
