By deafult, when loggin into Primal web app there is only blue button named "New Note". To get to the button to write a new Read there are a couple of ways for this 1. Via the Reads tab When you're on the Reads tab (primal.net/reads) in the web app, there should be a "New Article" or pencil/compose button that appears contextually — similar to how the "New Note" button appears on the home feed. Navigating to the Reads tab first puts you in the long-form context. 2. Via your profile page Go to your own profile and look for an "Articles" tab. From there you should see a button to create a new article alongside any you've previously published. 3. Bookmark the URL The most reliable workaround for a free user is simply to bookmark primal.net/myarticles in your browser — that takes you straight to the article editor every time, making it just as quick as a button click.
