might try out Primal for a day instead of Damus just to see what that's like
Discussion
Primal is slow for me :( things take 5+ seconds to load
Common problem? đ¤
Notifications donât work for me in primal :(
Push notifications or the tab itself? đ¤
The tab, its always blank
This. Usually takes 10+ seconds to load and sometimes never
The UI performance is nice though, but I noticed it makes my phone super hot.
The micro animations are a nice touch. But the loading animation sometimes gives me panic attacks 𤣠when things donât load
Erm more like anxiety
this is something I think about a lot after I added the bubble popup that one time. Apps can make you way more anxious just from small design decisions. Such power đ¤Ż
I remember when damus did that lol
It also leads to other questions: what kind of design decisions lead to a reduction of anxiety. anxiety-reducing design đ¤
Confirmation dialogs. So many nostr apps donât let you know if something has been saved or updated
good point. I added command results to nostr for this reason. You literally couldnât even know if something was saved before that.
Now I just need to propagate this to the UI more often đ¤
this
"note has been posted" pop-up
Yeah or just âpost successfulâ
Post can be successful or unsuccessful for every relay in your list though đ
nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 lets queue this one up, maybe for the next sprint or two
I get a little anxious when uploading an image/meme as the pre-post preview always seems to zoom/crop the image and Iâm thinking, I hope it doesnât look like that⌠đ
There are certain notification noises that say 'HEY! NOW!' and others that say 'Life Is Good, Is It Not? At Your Leisure'
I donât know. I could have sworn people were saying primal was fast. It was fast on the web for me (sometimes) but on iOS not so much.
Same
Browser or app?
Loving Primal and Damus. Iâm finding myself switching back and forth constantly. Theyâre good on different things
Yep! Kinda my current setup too.
hmm anything specific about either that keep you coming back?
there is something about the ÂŤlike buttonÂť in Primal that makes me come back as well as the fact that you have the option to zap. Cuz sometimes I like a post but might not want to zap, so itâs nice to have the option to do so
like button makes you come back to damus or primal? đ¤
primal. cuz there are post out there that is good but maybe not worth zapping, if you know what I mean
you can both like and zap on damus too
so i am not sure what you mean
you can select multiple reactions to like with too on damus
oh Iâve been living under a rock then cuz I didnât know
oh, always has been
you have the testflight version of damus?
i indeed do
and do you have the zap script enabled?
Iâm on only zap mode could be why
onlyzaps doesn't display likes even as a function
this is what i see 
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s how come she doesn't have the onlyzaps icon next to her profile
Guessing primal or something wiped it, its just a flag on the profile.
I may just use a settings note instead to avoid this
wencke, if you disable onlyzaps, you can both zap and like notes
onlyzaps removes likes completely visibility wise from your client
yeah true but I like onlyzaps in Damus. Thatâs what make it Damus
so you go to primal to like even tho you could do it on damus
am confusion
OnlyZaps really should disable others from liking your notes for it to be truly effective.
it used to do that iirc
but i am personally not for it myself
It was when I first launched it and people lost their minds, saying I was censoring peoples ability to like things
Yeah I recall. But itâs not you censoring, itâs the user and only if they select it.
agree
People argued it was still useful as a way to signal liked posts to other people, even if the person receiving it could not see it. I found that argument good enough to restore it.
I can see both sides. I guess if people are used to likes itâs harder to change the perceptive of not having it. Itâs hard to unlearn something that is so ingrained in peopleâs daily way of interacting with social media
onlyzaps is great as you say but using multiple clients, like me, really doesnât help. So yes Iâm not helping
yes unfortunately
I use Primal alongside Damus for four main reasons. 1. Because I can (Nostr keys for the win). 2. Primal Wallet for receiving zaps on both clients. 3. Binned my personal domain NIP-05 and replaced it with a custom one from Primal that matches my handle. 4. I like testing.
With the current state of LNURL wallets out there (and Apple Store stupidness), I think Damus is a little more confusing to set up for zapping (NWC is not immediately obvious), so Primal (client + wallet) is going to work for a lot of newcomers.
but Damus is way faster and easier to post from. I rarely post from Primal. The only thing I use in Primal is the option to like and zap, & see what people have posted. I mostly use Damus for posting and replying as well as zapping at times
what makes liking better in primal? just curious. do you have damus note zaps enabled or is primal just easier to zap?
Damus is easier. I never even setup the wallet in Primal because they asked for an email address.
wait lol wat
Thatâs the worst thing about primal. An element of KYC questions when you first set it up. But you can fill those with nonsense. It should offer you the option to set up a wallet which I think is âpoweredâ by strike. They will give you a random LNURL for the wallet. I also requested a custom LNURL and NIP-05 to match my handle, which they kindly setup.
I'm retardet. Maybe I did it wrong?
I ain't filling this out. 
opening this wallet is easy
⢠Social Security Number
⢠Seed Phrase
⢠Passport
really sad this is what the âacceptedâ way to onboard new people into zaps now. This isnât what I was thinking when I created them. I guess I weâre just rebuilding the old system now đ
inevitability when it comes to VC influence in the scene?
Itâs sad. Take freedom money and put the handcuffs back on it. Get back into the system pleb.
Supposedly you can fill it with nonsense. I read a note a couple of weeks ago, I think it was Tatum who said he linked his lightning wallet to two different clients and embedded up with all sorts of problems and lost funds. Damus works and I didn't want to lose funds regardless of the amount, so I haven't tried.
i agree. itâs sad but if this is a way to onboard people into bitcoin I think itâs an alright start :) maybe nostr can be the platform where they learn more about bitcoin and make them realise
Before we can allow you to access the freedom money, please provide your full name address date of birth social security number bank account credit card two copies of valid ID proof you pay your utilities full questionnaire opinions on government and whether your children would like more information about climate change
i have it enable đŤŁ
it doesn't show that it's enabled from my side
but i prefer Damus in the sense that you can see notes and replies. makes it easier to find new people and see whatâs going on. Just my preference tho
Today, after a long time I logged in by browser.
It was good, but the first thing I did was to change from âpopular 24hrâ(or something like that) to âlatestâ.
That felt good.
Spicy boi
i'm similar to the irish
i find pepper and mayo spicy
Mayo is a great county, I won't hear a bad word said about those muck-savages in Mayo, decent folk they are.
I like both, but have been on Primal more latelyâŚ
