Thanks, damn that's annoying. On Damus, at least I can select an external wallet to zap with, also on iOS

That’s because Damus doesn’t have a built-in wallet and they were forced to disable note zaps to get approved.
Primal took a different approach where they give Apple their 30% cut on bitcoin purchases so they were allowed to keep the feature. (At least that’s my understanding.)
On Android you can just connect an NWC wallet.
Yeah I thought there was an NWC connect somewhere, but couldn't find it, so was confused.
I feel like Primal is really ruining the whole 'interoperability' thing with a lot of their design choices. This is just one of them.
In this case, there seems to be no simple solution for a new user to use a single wallet or app to send and receive zaps from both/either primal and damus. Sad!
I put the blame mostly on Apple. Developers are trying different things. The bigger problem is LN wallets are still confusing for most new users. Maybe Cashu proofs stored on relays will solve this eventually.
Agreed! But I don't consider myself a new users and now realizing I literally have no idea how to onboard someone from scratch and get them set up with a simple but functional way to zap. 🤔
Yeah, it’s messy. Damus + Coinos isn’t a terrible way to start as long as you explain the custodial risk.
