More in-app language options and note translation. It's already a good start.
Add emoji reactions 💜
Follow lists. Please make a user creatable feed that we put whoever we want on. Either a separate tab for lists or they can show up in the feed list. 👍🏻🙂

A proper monetization strategy so you don't go bust. (Subs and Zaps won't work)
when used on horizontal mode on a tablet primal flashes like crazy
first use the login process of pasting the nsec could be seen as potentially risky
better search

Well what do you mean by P2P. Sounds like you mean zaps. Zaps won't sustain a platform.

It’s such a unique of moving sats on nostr and, because of the wallet integration, primal is very well positioned to improve on this ux!
Timeline that remembers where you were and new posts loading on top so you scroll up from where you were to keep reading new stuff chronologically instead of always starting from the new one on top until you arrive around the post you read last time you used the app… if you remember it… this will be very useful!
This is good at a decentralization level and structure. I agree and thought the same. Don't think it needs any changes. We just need a simple to install personal relay authenticated by nsec or npub.
But I'm talking monetization. For all network stakeholders:
-Clients
-Relays
-Creators
-Followers
primal wallet access on the web version
remove dragon ball feature, that's super saiyan, that's super saiyan blue, good for him but I don't care
Quit charging for stuff
You might be right, maybe it would work if a client like amethyst just added a built-in relay.
I wasn't thinking about monetization for creators. I've been thinking it will end up with individual sponsorship deals instead of in-app ads, but maybe nostr needs a NIP for in-app ads where every contributor gets paid for their posts, not just the ones with a lot of followers.
Yup that's one way for sure. Build the personal relay right into the client. Then disseminate the content out to aggregators on the network. 100%.
On monetization.
On social networks, people want REACH. That's all an ad is.
It's a payment for REACH. To boost your content out into other people's feeds. That could be an advertiser. Could be a regular creator. Could even be a new user trying to turbocharge their initial growth.
But these are the people who fund a network. We just need to structure a economic model where the other 3 (or even 4) stakeholders get a piece of this pie so they can survive and profit.
No relay, client, or creator is surviving off monthly or voluntary direct payments. That's my only point.
Would it be possible to build a bridge to X or Bluesky inside Primal itself? Where we would log in using our credentials, and we would be able to see the posts of the people we follow, and push replies and posts to the other services automatically.
As an option, this would be great. But I wouldn't want it to be automatic. Having to go to the mobile app to do the zaps forces me to make sure I actually want to, if we make it too easy we might waste the sats on regretful things.
that's been my mode too
More cowbell
a nice addition to

I wonder how much revenue could be generated this way:
Offer users, premium or otherwise, an option to permanently take an 8-or-more-characters Primal NIP-05 name, in exchange for opting in to an "inactive wallet share" where they keep their Primal wallet above a small minimum balance, and a small percentage of their wallet funds can be taken if both their npub and the wallet itself appear inactive for a period of 5-10 years.
Allow the 8-character minimum to be shortened with an increasingly large one-time fee the shorter the name is; discount this fee for premium subscribers.
Always warn opted-in users before they go below the minimum balance Never take the name away as long as the user has never ignored that warning - no increasing the minimum because they went below it, no taking the name away because the shared portion put them below it.
Accidentally hit "reply" while trying to edit - meant to say "no increasing the minimum so that they go below it."
Option to when launching the app, start where last read and scroll upwards, autoloading any new stuff while you were reading the lower stuff. Eliminates the pull down to refresh too.
Trying to Untoggle wallet in iOS version of the app, following a guide from alby hub, can’t find that option, is that option Android only?
Add an AppStore like 
that makes it easy for folks to publish their nostr apps!
Explore Nostr Apps
I just want to mute the word “nostr” on nostr
Is there a bug with the follow/unfollow buttons?
Jezz is Sunday, take a break 😁
I got you.
Hahahahaha was waiting for someone to say this
My follow list is stuck at 0 on Primal only for a long time
don't make me paste private keys. amber app on android is great
show more of non square images. I saw a meme yesterday that made no sense until I clicked it and realized there's words above the pic that we're hidden

Sidebar with more interesting options.
Trending people on nostrband is better than current options.
Or improve 'trending' so it's not just the same old same old read receipted large follower accounts. 🤔
Yes, we should enable plugging any feed into the sidebar. We’ll also publish more interesting feeds. 🤝
agreed. we try to get them right but we need to try harder.
Fix the little things that make it unbearable to use.
Multi media selection on upload
- Improved search (incl. user search)
- Improved performance
- Return feed from all relays
- Resolve disappearing images after upload
- Notifications
- Nostr Marketplace
Idk do you still have the option of external lightning adress for the people that want to use their wallets in primal. Tbh, don’t want to “register” anything on nostr, like we have to on legacy social media.
When I switch between feeds by swiping, there are one or two that don't load as fast as the others.
+1 for gif button
• Automation of posting
• Scheduling tool - which allows tagging
• Media service such as Nostr.build
Stop requiring users to trust you with their nsec. Replace KYC Strike backed built-in wallet with either a cashu mint or fedi. Make it easy for users to use any wallet they want with NWC should they choose to opt out of built-in wallet. Use tools like Nostr.build rather than your own CDN solution. Generally just be a better more inclusive Nostr client and stop giving off vibes that you're using the protocol to build your own walled garden.

or at the very least, displaying the emoji reactions in the notifications. primal users missing out on at least half of the notifications without this
Easy edit or delete for Notes? I don’t see a way to do this.
GM @miljan
Edit and delete is complicated on Nostr due to the nature of the protocol
A GIF search tool.
This is already in the works, but when you add signer support, please add support for both NIP-07 and NIP-46 signers. That way both web and app users can use their signer of choice.
It is 😂

Can we see our own posts in the feed?
Gyroscopic scrolling (tilt phone to scroll). It’s a bit VR like; it could be terrible.
How about a Bitcoin price page or icon. 100k is so hot right now.jpeg
Amber login on Android. Bunker login on dekstop.

muted notes in an anti-censorship protocol
IS UNACCEPTABLE
i replied again (my notes in the video)
@jack do you get ‘em?
Thanks. Making it easier would certainly make it more user friendly.
care to elaborate?
I already have in other notes. One example is the god awful bug that exists when typing a note that has someone tagged in it. It's been there for ages.
Can you elaborate on the trustless nsec method for clients? Is that the Nostr.build thing? I thought someone built something. Been sparse on here.
Trying to get a lay of the land. Probably going to start building because existing client devs are fucking clueless.
Waiting to see what Will puts out with NoteDeck tho.
can you give us control of what icons appear on the bottom of the mobile screen? I liked having Messages down there.
this may be user error. but when designing a feed using hashtags, I can't seem to use multiple hashtags on a single feed.
how about stopping CSAM and AI CSAM on Primal?
Primal never does anything

better hashtag page with stats n charts etc ✌️

Great question to ask. 👏 This is the way. 🚀

Auto-forwarding from tweets on X of people I follow.
Link previews to external sites need to work consistently. If the preview won't display, I'd rather not post it at all.
Multi Accounts ?
When there is a thread, I would like to have answers open by default, instead to have to click on them one by one
Improve UX for threads please, click on each answer is very confusing
The Downloads notifications feel spammy. I know the iOS and Android clients exist, and could do without the notification each time I refresh the desktop app.
unless “my body my choice”
Every time you open it you get free sats 😅
Wallet integration with the web app.
Add story that disappear after 24 hours and a reels button.
Okay, so, I'm totally digging this thing—a slide-show or whatever, a bunch of pictures all lined up. Right? Like, a visual feast. But I wanna click on one, and BAM, it takes me to the actual post. You know? Like, I'm a detective, trying to remember how to find the juicy details of these pictures. I swear, I saw something similar on Primal, but... where'd I go?! My memory is worse than a goldfish. Anyhoo, any ideas?
Primal is looking so good. What a great job. Truly! Thank you so much and congratulations to all involved :)
I really love the Explore with the feeds functionality.
I really like Coracle.social feed customization. It would be awesome to do more stuff like that. Or make it extendable programmatically.
I know there's a lot of work in that direction.
It's just phenomenal work. Really love the direction Nostr is taking. It's incredible!!
And Communities!! If Primal adds good support to Communities then that's it!!
By asking this question forever., Laura.
Couple minor issues:
- Zapping yourself (apparently a feature not a bug?)
- Don’t allow multiple zaps by default
- see more… 🤪

I've just asked this:
Dany
What web wallet can I use to sends zaps when using @primal desktop?
I used to use alby, but I like the convenience of using the primal wallet in the iOS app.
There are tools to delete things but editing is unlikely. Every action passes through multiple relays so in order to make a change, it requires much more work than it would on Twitter.
I use @lemon's nifty but would be great to have one built in!
GIF Buddy🫂
Would be handy to have an (optional) delay when you hit post when you still have time to cancel it and edit. (Like gmail does)
Let me hide the big wallet button on mobile. I use Alby Hub
Short term Primal 2.0 integration of the NIP37 integration to allow typo edits on Primal, likely in a 3 to 5 min window after post, just to keep us from looking stupid when we typo something important to the note, but to not let edits compromise content that is already connected to seasoned engagement by other users.
View quoted note →
That’s certainly an option
Yeah I’ve tried that. I want it baked in
The cause for gifs is bigger than either of us 😭🤣
I'm referring to solutions like Amber (android only) or Alby that make it easy to safekeep your nsec and then set permissions on an app by app basis. In the future though I'd love a hardware wallet solution.
Are these signers built for the user, or the client?
As in, are they meant so the user can keep, store, remember, and retrieve their NSEC safely?
Or are they meant for clients to safeguard/encrypt the NSEC's of their users, to prevent them getting in the wrong hands?
Detecting "nostr:" formatted links & actually linking them natively in a client-agnostic embed/card manner would be a phenomenal addition. 💁♂️
The current UX re:that is janky AF & seems to force platform-specific ”https://”-style hyperlinks to reference a post; this is a bad UX IMO. 🙏
