Everything is on the DHT so can't you just have your own indexer/aggregator? Like sure even if the Nexus phones home and can filter stuff, what's stopping someone from forking and making their own for use with a client?
Yes, the nexus can act as a point of censorship, but so can any Nostr client too, they just need to filter certain pubkeys or content or whatever.
Even if the flagship Pubky app is censored to shit, you can still use other clients with other independent indexers, no?
Please let me know your thoughts :)

You could, sure. But nobody is, nobody has, nobody plans to from what I can tell. I'd genuinely love to see one. Double plus if it ditches the default configs all pointing at Synonym's Nexus entirely and stands on it's own with no hidden configs or backends. A working, clean and simple architecture exists within the very protocol you're reading this message on.

Architecture & design docs specify fully decentralised search and discovery. An initial single server is just a necessity of build order and I saw that @JustPav is searching for more devs (paid fully remote) so I'm sure you'll see everything on your wish list soon; all of that is on my wish list as well. The whole project is Open Source MIT licenced and random open source devs on Pubky are already contributing stuff, so I'm pretty hype.

From a user perspective (n=1) I would challenge clean, and working. Either way, pubky is a significant architecture improvement.
