I wish I could combine the main feed UX of Primal with everything Damus has š. Media especially is nice in Primal. I currently scroll the feed in Primal and jump back to Damus to zap, react, check notifications, etc.

Whats nicer about it ?
One thing I love about Primal is itās extremely easy to copy a url to a note, which you can send to anyone and it will render in the browser.
I use Damus almost exclusively, but I always have to switch to Primal to grab those urls.
Would it help if I made an iOS shortcut that you could use to copy an njump link for a note when you open the share sheet on Damus?
Iām not sure I understandā¦ so maybe? š
I just want to quickly copy a url that will render a nostr post in the browser, for anyone who doesnāt have a nostr app or account.
Install this shortcut and then youāll see Copy Njump Link as an option when you open the share sheet on a note in Damus. š¤

Wow thanks!! Iāll check this out š¤
Hey bro its Barry from Outlands. I'm hunting you down on nostr cause I'm trying to get an item from you I gave you a while back.
Its the "1st place Ore Harvested" trophy lol.. Sorry I dunno how to DM on this network yet, but, you are in my Discord channel. Lets chat!
lol yooo good to hear from you š¤
Iāll hit you up from the other account
yo bro your house is IDOC now, you got maybe 20 mins
I never played UOā¦ it still good in 2024 ?
Yeah, thereās a free server called
UO Outlands. Theyāve changed a lot of things and added new content, skills, etc. but itās true to the original spirit of the game.
Bapeth sold me the in-game house and a bunch of stuff when he stopped playing. Now I havenāt been playing, and heās back š
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s thereās a whole scripting language where you can automate stuff in-game. You would get a kick out of it
razor script? looks cool.
nostr:npub1vp8fdcyejd4pqjyrjk9sgz68vuhq7pyvnzk8j0ehlljvwgp8n6eqsrnpsw how do I get here? āShareā is not an option for me from a note in Damus
Never mind! I found it just after posting š¤
Thanks again it works
id like to hear this. i just did it to see, and the only difference i could find is the note separation line on damus is 5px, and the note separation line on primal is 1px.
videos play nicely and fit in the screen on primal. on damus, sometimes it's hard to get the whole video into the screen without the video auto-stopping. if you click into the video on damus, the stopping problem goes away, but the video is small and now that i'm on iOS 18, i can't make the video full screen. even when i could make it full screen, it would auto-stop when making it bigger. everything is much smoother in primal. if you click on a video while it's playing in primal, it goes full screen without stopping the video.
as for images, i can't make the larger anymore on damus. on primal i'm still able to do that.
Primal has a decent moat because of the web version, so itās easier to slap it onto webapps that use nostr.
I currently use nostter to show people their profile and because I think the design is adorable, but I let them connect/view global feed on primal.net
Damus as an app is way more reliable and performant. No problems uploading content like videos or images, speed is super consistent. Seems like more focused engineering on Damus.
I also like that Primal displays media and links exactly where you put them in the note. Damus moves all the media to the bottom into a carousel. Links also get moved too. So sometimes the formatting doesnāt look right.
We just do what twitter does š¤·āāļø i donāt see whatās inherently better about that approach
Itās just a personal preference. Not sure if thatās what the majority of people prefer.
Wow. Ive used clients that put tags at the bottom but never one that shifts the content around. Does Damus offer a normal unmodified mode?
Actually, Primal does do the same thing with moving all the media into the carousel at the bottom. My brain got confused cause Iāve been using NotPrimal a lot and the web app displays all the media exactly where they were placed.
EXACT opposite of my UX. Zap from Primal. Note and check notifications from #damus
I like to zap using cuckbucks with Strike. Canāt do that with Primal.
Try Toms club Ramus, just like notprimal same great nostr experience half the unfinished product
I wish Damus just looked like twitter. I would use it. I cannot stand the way they show replies
What donāt you like about it? Weāve done a lot of research and most seem to like the thread viewā¦
I donāt like how the replies look like comments on a live stream or something. The replies are just unintuitive. Showing every reply to every reply is convoluted. The way it is done on twitter and on primal is far more intuitive and makes understanding the context of each reply easier.
Plus, the font size doesnāt affect the size of the font on the original post in a thread. This alone makes it unusable for me. I like most of the UX of Damus but the replies and large font on posts are just aesthetic mistakes imo
Like I would rather not see every thread and every post linked to the original post in the replies to it at once. I prefer to only see direct replies, and if Iām interested in viewing a specific thread, purposely clicking on that thread. The replies on Damus are cluttered.
