How do people with lower resource constraints use Nostr? The applications I've used burn through them. Data, storage, battery.
One thing I've noticed a lot of them do is load notes going ridiculously...
I think the Voyage client handles data well, not loading things like images/videos by default. Tried it in the past, a tad bit too minimalist for my taste (and I never browse on cellular), but has a nice charm to it.
For ram/cpu, I don't think things are all that crazy intense, unless the client is unoptimized. My Chromebook running Debian (dual core cpu that's very out of date, 1.88 gb usable RAM) runs Nostrudel. The page freezes or runs slow occasionally, but fairly rarely and usually only when loading my feed after opening the page. And that's with all the works (outbox model, nsec bunker, relay authentication, and following 100+ accounts - albeit some being inactive).
At least my observations anyway.
