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 🚀

LFG🔥🧡
I tried to use another app for Nostr (I won’t name it’s not an attack) for a year and it was just brutal… I nearly quit entirely but on a whim tried primal and now browsing Nostr has become one of my favourite things to do. It’s all in the user experience.
Top tier nostr user experience 💯
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.
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.
I love using primal, the smoothness of it. Some people say it’s not real Nostr because of caching and the kyc wallet.
I use it daily, sometimes I use Nostur. But Primal seems less buggy.
For Desktop however Primal could use some big updates, it’s pretty to look at but nearly impossible for me to post on.
Nostr is great and Primal is the cleanest UX I have used by far.
Thanks for the feedback. We hear you, and some big updates are in the pipeline for our web/desktop app. 👀
Should be a lot smoother in 1-2 weeks, stay tuned.
That’s great to hear, I appreciate the response. Keep it up 👍.
One critique I have of the AppStores it it says it’s something about “Bitcoin social wallet.” I would get rid of the Bitcoin and let them see zaps first hand.
Thanks for listening to my rants and praises!
You’re a pedophile
it's true. i try every new client but always end up coming back to primal. even better now that they've fix a lot of the nitpicks i had. still more work to do of course.
> "...increasingly irrelevant nostr users"
And they'll be _entirely irrelevant_ to Primal users if the caching server decides to completely hide their notes. They won't even exist anymore!
You become entirely irrelevant to me if I mute you and unfollow you, which is what I’m about to do. Take care.
Yep. Only relevant while they say it’s okay. I’ll take decentralized relays all day. Screw caching servers.
Is there a way to see which relays people are using on the Primal App? nostr:nprofile1qqs0nt9skq6vfsgh06v979rrnuchau87mmnk2lqxpv2xaeusqfp30mqppemhxue69uhkummn94kx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcx03p07 showed a screenshot of a user profile but I'm guessing that's from the desktop client.
you can use nostr.com

Thanks brother. I specifically was referring to this picture you posted on SN. Was that using Primal Desktop?
this you can see in Fevela, you can click on the hamburger and it displays on which relay was published.
Primal should add this option too and also a view by relay and not by following.
And I don't know why Primal removed the option to right click and save video or copy the URL. It sucks to have to go every time on nostr.com or njump.to to copy that URL
And yes, I use nostr only on desktop.
Yes we updated the video player in our web app. You have the "Download Video" option within the player itself now (bottom right corner).
OK but I do not want always to download the video. Sometimes I just want to save the video URL. Is more efficient to re-share the video already uploaded on other platforms or just save it for later.
I see. In that case "Copy Note Text" from the context menu might be your best option. It's an extra step but all media URLs can be easily copied from there.
I don’t know of a way to view other people’s relay lists in the mobile app. My other go-to client is nostr:nprofile1qqsfhc97plq8j4yzxv33v98yu8hunu5tpkeesqg7lmk0qhl9wrja6vcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdulw668f . I keep both installed because each is good at different things. Interoperability ftw. Here’s what that looks like on Nostur
Primal has a great look and feel. I use it every now and then.
Amethyst is still my go to because it remains more true to the Nostr ethos and spirit. Things like outbox model, TOR integration, maximum relay control, etc...
Not to mention adding edit capabilities and it renders markdown.
If you’re using Primal you’re not using Nostr
heads-up: we looked for a lightning address on your profile but could not find one... u can get a free one at https://rizful.com ... and then reply back to this comment so we can zap you.
