Primal was my first Nostr app that I used last year in July when I joined. I still use and enjoy it a lot, and the onboarding would have been next to impossible without them. I genuinely think that I would have dropped Nostr in less than a week with any other app.

There are a handful of good nostr clients, and Primal is right at the top. I’ve played nicely with haters for long enough, and I’m going to be leaning in even harder to show my support for Primal and bringing more users to Nostr via their apps. To be clear, I’m not paid or hired and they haven’t asked me to do this. This is simply genuine support from someone who has used their products for the last 2 years and still love using them. LFG 🚀

I joined nostr 2 years ago via Damus. I never came back. It was terrible.
Damus may have come a long way since then, but I downloaded nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuurpwfjhgmeww3hhwmsprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5cfkclk two weeks ago and immediately deleted my Twitter account.
ux for the win
And in lies a brilliant example of the free market. People build what they want. Users choose what products they want. They key: competition and innovation are driving efficiency and quality
Love this kind of story
Should be inspiring to devs like nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqkrrlu6 and nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jsprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyf8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetn05794w to know their work is noticed, liked, and iterated upon
What a world that is unfolding!
“If you build it they will come”
i just don't understand why you guys don't just use X if you want centralized social media. it is much better and has more people.
Why don't you just use X if you want centralized shit too, Apple Inc fanboy?
I don't want centralized shit, which is why I built damus android/notedeck and am using it to type this message
Please don't go back to X btw
I don’t care what you can and can’t understand or what lies your jealousy leads you to manufacture about other nostr users. Fuck off.
That's why I don't use X and why I come here. Not sure if maybe I'm missing something.
You’re missing that Will is the dev for a competing for-profit nostr client that has continually lost user share to Primal for the last 2 years. He’s jealous.
Lol, jealous of a centralized client. Ya i wish my client was more centralized. Damus android is already better perf and more reliable, works offline.
I’m sure all 2 users appreciate that
I am building this for myself and anyone else who cares about being a part of a decentralized future. I am not doing this for money. The money would be nice so i can hire more people and work on it without grants, but it’s not what motivates me.
I couldn’t care less if people joined primal. If those users don’t care about decentralization then those aren’t the users we are targeting.
The fact we’re writing each other from different clients while both using nostr is the whole point.
It’s like custodial lightning sending to non custodial lightning wallets.
Each person decides if the trade offs are worth it.
You’re a pedophile
Same experience in Feb 2024...Damus is a little better but Primal is 🔥🔥🔥
True, nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuurpwfjhgmeww3hhwmspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgappj6n is way better than nostr:nprofile1qqsraldwhvwcjgltmxwfu7kw8dqef2692yhzheuurd7k3kfy8cxjdqgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejseqpcd3
Exactly the same. I dabbled with Damus for a couple days but nothing about it clicked. Not already being familiar with Twitter navigation, I chalked it up to user error.
When I came back on Primal, it was revelation. So much more intuitive.
And Damus would probably argue that the trade offs is that it’s more centralized but that’s fine with me. I can always leave if that becomes and issue for some reason and go to a different nostr client.
That's the way!
Is there a app for watching podcasts. Currently using YouTube for my BTC content and looking fur something else.
You can also use PipePipe from nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0. You can watch YouTube content without ads and download everything you need.
