This is his other fund. You can see Mutiny, Strike, and Primal, in the list.

And Coinkite, of course. NVK is from Coinkite and sits with Odell on the OpenSats board. And one of the Ten31 board members is also a Strike board member.
The fact that Strike and Primal are financed by the same fund helps explain why they ended up so closely integrated in the app. Pablo has been hanging out with Odell, and now everyone from Primal is getting auto-redirected to his Highlighter app, to read long-form notes. This goes against the natural market, which tended to prefer Habla, or read the articles embedded in the Kind 01 apps.
Intertwined like a plate of 🍝. But, if you complain about the money bags dictating app development, you just get buried deeper.
And look at the OpenSats board. It's clearly a Bitcoin fund, not a Nostr fund.
Oh, and now Listr is also nudging people toward Primal.
Primal seems to have been determined to be the God App and everything is supposed to lead to and from there. That way, they build a closed circle and it becomes a Primal-based suit of products, with the Strike app handling everyone's monetary transactions and normalizing KYC during onboarding.
I won't use Primal for the simple reason that they don't adhere to the outbox model for relay configuration, like Amethyst, and now YakiHonne does. Primal seems intent on doing it their own way, and not adhering to nostr standards. I'm not a fan.
I prefer YakiHonne for long-form articles. Their new design and UX is really nice, and they've put a lot of work into optimizing it specifically for long-form. I tried both Highlighter and Habla, and I didn't really like either of them, although I definitely liked Habla more than Highlighter.
I'm also a YakiHonne user for articles... ✌🏻
Oh, yeah, they're also quite popular. I always forget about them because my Firefox signer gave me problems with their site login, but it seemed to work, last time I tried.
