Building Primal

Happy New Year Nostr! ✨

I have a good feeling about 2026. It’s going to be the year of building, and more importantly, winning.

If you only shared your npub then you don't need to worry about getting compromised. Maybe the scammer is going to spam you with some DMs, but you can mute them.

Merry Christmas Nostr! 🎄☀️

Looking back at 2025, I’d say the most amazing thing here is that Nostr works! So many apps and services are interoperating smoothly on this open network. Feels like our foundation is solid; let’s keep building. We have some wild things in the pipeline for 2026…

PSA: This SCAM AIRDROP has nothing to do with Primal.

Primal will never do a token airdrop.

Interesting. It definitely wasn't neglected; we constantly work on our web app. But it seems that it was unreliable in some browsers / signing scenarios. Please let us know if it works better for you now.

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqst0vfc965m67eyyrhdfkudsve65ejv0wmmac3qs422xxnqw334umqy5lrds, I am not familiar with nostrpass.com; is it based on NIP-46 remote signing? If not, what's the tldr of the approach? If there's a spec you can share we'll take a look.

We are aiming to release Primal 2.6 for android in the next couple of weeks. You may want to keep an eye on that release and try again.

This was just a web app update.

Which mobile app are you on (iOS or Android) and which Primal version are you running?

I am not sure if Wallet of Satoshi supports Nostr Wallet Connect. If it does, then yes - you can connect any NWC wallet to the Primal web app and zap.

The onboarding flow on the Primal web app wasn't very good, so we removed it for now. In general, people are much better off onboarding via mobile apps. We are working on making the overall onboarding process much nicer; hope to have something to share soon.

We just shipped an overhaul of the Primal web app. Here’s what’s new:

- Faster loading and more reliable publish actions

- New login option: remote signer (nsec bunker)

- New login option: npub

- Logout option, lol

- Feed fixes and improvements

We figured a more reliable web app would be nice instead of adding new features. Please let us know how it hits. Pura vida! 💜

Two thoughts on this:

1. We need to get out of the mindset of “building nostr apps”. We simply need to build great products that people want to use, and Nostr will be the underlying protocol. So totally agree with Jack on this.

2. In the long run, we will absolutely displace X and other closed platforms. It will be a grind, but we will wrestle away the network effects from gradually, then suddenly.

You don't need a Primal Pro / Studio license to publish articles on nostr. You can use the free article editor, which is a part of our web app. Simply go to Reads, then click "New Article" in the left sidebar.

We do have a long form article editor in our web app. Go to Reads and click New Article in the sidebar.

We also have a more elaborate article editor as a part of Primal Studio.

Guess what I’m drinking tonight…

Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqs2gndun24r2utk5l20tscsdprw5zttvm0qk58w8xhl2ja2kmzt7jcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uq36amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvf5hgcnvda3kkcn0dakjucm0d5hs44fkg0, can’t wait to try it!

Some Primal services were affected by the Cloudflare outage for a few hours earlier today. Specifically, our web app, external wallet transactions, and partially our blossom media server. We are fully back up now and continue to monitor the situation. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Running services which are resistant to ddos attacks is hard without relying on providers like Cloudflare unfortunately. We are working on upgrading our infrastructure so that we are more resilient in the future. As long as we learn and improve every time as a result of these incidents, we are on the right track.

You don’t simply explain how Primal works. Your framing to our “confused users” is that Primal is evil.

You can keep playing the victim, but a simple fact is that in 100% of cases, you are the instigator. Literally every single time. Most times we don’t even respond, but today we did.

Primal users, help us make the live streaming experience perfect. Today’s updates:

- Live stream notifications (see example below)

- Live banners now respect your per-streamer settings

- iOS 2.5.35: commenting on streams fixed

Tell us what improvements you’d like to see next 🫡

Streaming links should be there if you follow accounts who are streaming. You can also access them from the profile page.

There is a glitch with the current version of the web app where you need to go to (or reload) primal.net/home for the home page pills to show up. We'll fix that.

Love to see it. Nice one nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqqyq3arktn24qedet3vg4h35ktsk0ar66hncszny6cc0pc7nvs8ufh7szqpn7 and nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq37amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwfjkccte9ejx2un9ddex7umn9ekk2tcqyqlhwrt96wnkf2w9edgr4cfruchvwkv26q6asdhz4qg08pm6w3djg3c8m4j.

Interesting. Can you please let us know which device and iOS version you are running?

If you bought the 3-month subscription using bitcoin via our web app, please note that this is a one-time payment (not recurring).

In any case, if you need any assistance with our products, feel free to email us at support@primal.net.

Let us know if you have specific questions, but everything should be available at:

https://studio.primal.net

We are all staying at the nearby resort. Climbing was optional.

Can you please tell us more about your setup? Which browser and extension are you using?
