At long last, Primal 2.0 is here.

Our team has been working around the clock for many months to reach this milestone. Primal now offers a much more comprehensive view of Nostr, with the following additions:

- New tab: READS

- New tab: EXPLORE

- Feed Marketplace

- Advanced Search

We also launched Primal Premium. For $7/month, you can get a Primal Name and Nostr Tools for power users. Weโ€™ll cover all this in much more detail in the coming days. In the meantime, we invite you to download Primal 2.0, try it out and let us know how you like it.

Enjoy! ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ’œ

Zapstore release inbound?

good work!

can't pay for Premium using sats?

yes

Yes, you can buy Primal Premium with sats via the web app. For mobile apps, we support in-app purchases only at this time.

this option 'Become a Primal Legend' seems very tempting!

btw thanks for repairing the search

(that was really a pain not being able to search)

Testing

Very impressive, keep up the good work!

The wait was worth it ๐Ÿซก

Awesome! Will check it out asap. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Loving it so far. Great work. Congrats to you and your team ๐Ÿ™Œ

Grazie from Florence ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นwe love your protocol!

Thank you! It's feeling awesome

Happy to see it! Good job team!

You're going to love this release. It's smooth as hell. It's fast! Advanced Search works so damn well too. You'll love Reads for extra long form content. And you'll love the feed marketplace, which super charges your home feeds with new algorithms from Nostr's DVM developers.

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m

testando aqui. tรก muito bom.

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m

Btw why is the annual premium membership more expensive than the monthly? 12 x 6.99 = 83.88 < 1 x 89.99 ๐Ÿค”

This is magic. I love you man. This is amazing.

congrats nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr!!

Favorite features of Primal 2.0 so far:

- Feed marketplace - we need more/better feeds, but โ€œPopular from npubs you followโ€ is already a game-changer for me

- Reads - long form articles that you can โ€œhighlightโ€ and easily post clips

- Contacts Backup (premium feature), i can sleep at night again

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m

Awesome, can't wait to try it on Android!

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m

Feeds and Reads is just genius!

I don't know if you ever tried Primal or not, but you actually have to. I don't know a single app that can run out of this world "just like that". It feels like I have a new phone.

TRY IT!

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m

I liked that! ๐Ÿ‘โญ๏ธ

STRAIGHT FIRE.

A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN.

Fire indeed

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™Œ

itโ€™s ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Very nice! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซ‚๐ŸŽจ

Nice job!

The READ section is so obvious to expand the horizons of a kind:1 client... that no one had done it yet. Often the most obvious and simple things are the ones that make all the difference. Bravo nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr!

Suggestion: add it to profiles as well, I've been begging for months; if a user puts their time on a lengthy piece of content, it's a shame not to highlight and enhance it in the profile.

Oh. This is a good idea. I like it.

Like this?

Oh, dam I misread the "reads" label.

Maybe is "Articles" better?

Btw, I would put it before Replies, it's more important.

And I would pin the last article before the last notes, if it is "recent" (e.g. posted in the last month).

Freerse and Nostrudel have that, actually. And Chachi is getting it.

noStrudel has everything, of course.

Thank you! ๐Ÿซ‚

We did this; there should be a Reads tab on the profile screen in all Primal clients. Let me know if it's not showing up for you.

Ficou excelente pra usar mรบltiplos perfis, antigamente travava tudo e demora muito. Parabรฉns pelo trabalho!

can you add a switch off button for the Trending Panel, thanks

Congrats, looking good

Epic.

Heads up the "Add Feed" button in the "Feeds Marketplace" is showing off screen on my normal 100% zoom level. Couldn't add the feed without changing zoom level. Doesn't even scroll to show it. Might trick some people.

Feed marketplace is a good thing. Thanks for adding it.

Why the boorkmarks in Primal is different of bookmarks in Amethyst? Not the same content

Obs. Using the same Nostr profile.

cc nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z

I think we are still in the old style.

Interoperability is important.

Nobody said that it isn't.

CONGRATS! ONWARD. ๐Ÿซก

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Wow! This new nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg version is amazing! The reads idea ๐Ÿ‘

Thank you the whole team ๐Ÿ’œ

It's fast! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿงกโšก๐Ÿ‘Š

Oh, snap. Great work. Love the Reads section.

excellent. and performance has greatly improved.

Very nice! Heads up the FAQ page for premium on marketing site is rendering weird on mobile

This is native app only, right? Can't see it on the web..

It is a progressive web app, runs both on the web and is installable. Non custodial, stores everything on device only. Needs a bit more work before I can release it publically. Hopefully soon.

Sorry I responded to the wrong message. I believe you are right, the new stuff isnโ€™t available on the web client.

This is amazing. Noticeable performance improvement. Thank you. ๐Ÿ™‚

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m

Slick and looking good on my ungoogled #Android phone. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Congrats ! And seems to run faster now.

๐ŸŽ‡

Looking good!

So that's why my computer fans are no whirring at full speed. Cool!

PRIMAL TO THE WIN

Big NIP Energy

For Primal OGs, are the Nostr/Lightning addresses and VIP profile revoked after the 6 months if a subscription is not made?

Yes, all OGs get 6 months of free premium. After that they will need to subscribe for more time.

Whatโ€™s OG?

What will happen to those who already have a primal name? What if they donโ€™t subscribe?

If you currently have the Primal OG free subscription, it will run out after 6 months. If you decide not to renew your subscription, the name will become available again for purchase. This name will no longer be available to you unless you purchase.

Wen iOS and desktop NWC?

There was NWC in the iOS beta, but was removed for AppStore release. Probably due to fear of Apple banning it.

There's NWC in Damus.

love it

Is there a way to connect a wallet via NWC?

Yes in Primal for Android, but not in iOS unfortunately; due to App Store restrictions.

not yet on zapstore?

You just won the internet ๐Ÿ›œ HUGS ๐Ÿซ‚ THANKS ๐Ÿ™

congrats! 2.0 is a great leap, loving the new stuff and the speed!

When streaming now section?

Looks cool! Just installed- try to keep default profile pic works for all. It was looking like a men placeholder pic. I wish they are default avatars.

Thank you

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿซก

Great job. Huge fan of this update ๐Ÿซก

Well done sir.

Itโ€™s great! Great job!

The only thing I think misses is a good people searcher. Thatโ€™s pretty cool and useful too

Would have been nice to know my feed resets would be gone if I updated.

Now I have to type them all in again (topical searches and then click "Add to home feed")

PS - "Marketplace" threw me off, I thought you were saying your app now supported embedding marketplace feeds e.g., links from people's Shopstr listings.

hi, why do you need my name and birthrate when setting up a wallet in the app?

Xo sick, I have been waiting for a long time and now I have it Iโ€™m so blissful ๐Ÿซก๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿ’œ

Congrats!

How are the โ€œreads feedโ€ populated? What clients are they pulled from?

Just upgraded. First impression: this version seems to be a game changer โšก๏ธ

Small issue with font size in some places. Otherwise, great improvement!

Never mind I am stupid

Awesome ๐Ÿ”ฅ Congratz to the team.

Is 2.0 still using legacy NIP-04 DMs, or does it support NIP-44 encryption?

posting via web is failing

and what's that weird legacy symbol in front of the 7. don't you accept sats?

Something that I would like is pulldown to refresh and scroll without need to click to see the new notes.

yep

Are you referring to Android app? It already has pull to refresh feeds. Is it not working?

Yes Android. Pulldown to refresh works but I think shouldn't be necessary to click on button to load new posts. I just would like to scroll to see the new posts after I pulldown. Understand?

Like how X app works.

Amazing work well done. Can we pay in btc/LN?

Thank you!

Yes, you can buy Primal Premium with sats via our web app.

You make it difficult to choose the client nostr. Congrat nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

THANK YOU SIR.๐Ÿ™‚

Awesome update, already a solid client

๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’œ

Impressive

YEAH YAH!

Very smooth. Thank you.

I hope a Mac app can be possible in the future.

amezing

Thanks

Nice work!

NIP55 Android signer (Amber) is quite an essential feature imo, would love to see it in primal too.

Working on it!

Amazing!

Well done on all the progress. Look forward to having a play around with it

Primal 2.0 looks amazing - loving the long form post ux - congrats nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr and the whole primal team.

Thank you!๐Ÿ™

Amazing work! Primal is by far the most polished client Iโ€™ve used. Keep it up ๐Ÿป

I've got a great feeling about this. Was listening to you chatting with nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u and got the tingles... Feels like the future is here...

Um... so you know how you said you don't like pre-announcing stuff such that you don't get bombarded with qs... promise I have just 1...

Is an NSEC Bunker in the works for Primal? I manage a couple of acocunts on behalf of my student journalists... It'd be great to not have them worrying about losing or accidentally leaking an nsec...

Cheers. VERY impressed ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hello, we're currently in the process of implementing a way to sign in to Primal using an nsec bunker. This feature is not available yet, but will be in the foreseeable future. Stay tuned!

Awesome. Thanks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Bravo!

Xo Sick ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿซ‚

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿซก

Primal 2.0 is very nice ๐Ÿซก

crushed it and felt obliged to pay. thank you for your service.

When remote sign in? Entering your nsec is a nostr anti pattern. Strictly speaking, you don't own your identity of you have to share your nsec with a client.

How do I create a custom feed?? I can't seem to find out how, yet. I can see clearly how I follow other feeds, but how do I create one?! #nostr #primal #help

just updated...Great job. #Primal 2.0 is amazing!

Congratulations! Looking forward to checking out the android version. Already peeked around on the web version and enjoyed it.

But also: people shouldn't work around the clock :)

Congrats, the app really is excellent. Love the new Reads feature!

When Iโ€™m watching a video on Primal that someone shared in a post, where is that video file hosted?

Thank you for all of the hard work, nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr !!!
