Nostr Web Client

Outbox model update from Primal. This week we released updates to all of our clients (web, iOS, android), with the following capabilities:

1. Relay settings are based on NIP-65

2. Newly-onboarded users get randomly selected relays from the list of ~1,100 active relays (plus primal and purple pages relays). Existing users can test this capability by selecting “reset default relays” in network settings

3. All published content includes tags with the appropriate relay hints

4. When posting replies, we respect the relay hints on parent notes and post to those relays as well

This update ensures that Primal clients play nicely with outbox clients. The final step will be to implement reading content directly from relays, which will be used in conjunction with our caching service. That will take a bit more time, but we are marching ahead towards this ideal. 🫡

If I have a set of relays that I use with other clients, what happens to them if I try the outbox model in primal?

We don't touch the relays you already setup. It is up to any individual user to select the relays they wish to publish to.

I'm just trying to understand how this works in Primal. When I select “reset default relays” will it modify my relay list?

So if I want to use the outbox model, I have to let it wipe my relays. Got it. Thanks Kieran!
