GM! ☕ I jjust migrated from nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7fjgzxw to nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuurpwfjhgmeww3hhwmspr9mhxue69uhkummnw3exx6r9vd4jumt99aex2mrp0yn7plng (I mostly use Nostr on Android) with a lot of joy, and also some hiccups. I'm still glad I did 🙂

🔸 All my previous DMs are encrypted, unreadable in Primal.

🔸 Can't send new DM to anyone (I've got a bunch of relays). Yes, default DMs are really bad, although Amethyst did address that. nostr:nprofile1qqs8t4ehcdrjgugzn3zgw6enp53gg2y2gfmekkg69m2d4gwxcpl04ac04xqkm compatibility/standard can't come soon enough to all #Nostr clients, but in the meantime DMs in Primal are completely broken. For me at least, with 2 accounts.

🔸 I learned that all my previous DMs (for years) from Amethyst to Primal users were most likely never delivered. Not cool :/

🔸 Primal doesn't show my old bookmark lists (private and public). Now I only have a public bookmark list, and it was blank. (I thought it was a standard "kind 10003" or something). I cannot see other ppl's bookmarks, from Primal.

🔸 Similarly, my blocked users list is empty as well. I thought those lists would be accessible across clients but maybe no.

🔸 No way to manage lists of users, or even to display any list I already created (kind 30000 I think). This could be really useful. I hope more clients will implement it.

🔸 No way to "share" something from an Android app to Primal. A URL for example, when you tap "share" in your web browser.

🔸 No drafts feature.

🔸 A few minor bugs.

Pretty sure a lot of this will be implemented or fixed in the future. A lot of this is probably trivial 🙂

Maybe some problems are due to using Amber? Seems unlikely but who knows.

On the bright side, with Primal:

🔹 Search works great

🔹 I love the "Reads" section

🔹 UI/UX in general, although lacking some key features, is very slick & enjoyable

🔹 Amethyst became a powerful but scary monster with each new update. Those settings... 😣

OTOH, I can easily recommend Primal to normies and grandmas!

The masochistic steampunk nerd in me will always prefer Amethyst. But for everyday, I'm happy to stick to a #Nostr client for humans 🙂

Final thought:

Consider implementing those LISTS OF USERS, public and private, manageable from within the client, and tied to your account, not your client.

Thanks to all the devs for their amazing work 🙏
