Primal iOS users, we need your input! 🫡 Assuming you’ve already upgraded to the latest 1.2 build, what are your top requests for the next release? Which new features would you like to see in Primal? What are the most annoying bugs that still need to get fixed?

Replies (111)

Could I put in a request for Android version? Id really like a live feed. Thanks a lot.
From an accessibility standpoint, allowing larger fonts (ie. using fonts from system settings), or allowing landscape mode would be huge improvements.
Recommended follows: ppl that are followed by my follows that i’m not following yet.
Option for different emoji reactions? Like a long press on the heart brings up a set of pre selected emoji you would like to use. Otherwise it’s a great update. The input bug fix is working great!
Allowing third-party ⚡wallets and the ability to choose a custom primal ln address. I've clicked through every menu. Maybe im doing something wrong. Also have a weird keyboard bug that doesn't allow auto-correct and double space for periods. Got any testflight links?
don’t know if it’s been addressed but I still notice renotes of accounts I have muted. would love ws support for private relay logging. automatic inclusion of followed hashtags would be cool for the “latest” feed. and maybe what about slightly larger profile circles, my brain is too lazy to recognize names as quickly. appreciate the app so far btw, great work 🤙

Bookmarks, Some way to filter or filter out longer posts (“articles”?) and have a medium- like experience
I came here to report some keyboard quirks/bugs but as I type this they all seem to be fixed. So thanks!!
For example, I would like to follow this thread (receive push notifications each time someone post here) to know the features people are requesting. If we had this "stalk" feature, this would be possible.
Something that would be amazing too is: be able to see who of the people I'm following is participating in a nostrnests.com room. Maybe push notification when someone that I'm following join a room.
I think Primal should have two modes to join: 1- Self sovereign way: The user receive the nsec and npub and have privacy. 2- With email and password: The user doesn't have access of nsec. Have all disadvantages of a centralized service. Obs. I think would be more easier to people that doesn't care yet about decentralization, to join nostr.

I can see that npub and nsec might not be necessary for users who don't want to deal with it, but they should still be generated so that the account is secure from people who try to clone the account on other devices with the username/password.
You should be able to send and receive payments/zaps anywhere on the lightning network. If you are not able to do so, please let us know the details (you can DM me) and we'll investigate.

Getting people used to the idea of a public and private key is a big step towards getting them more comfortable with Bitcoin and sats. I don't think we should ignore the lesson and make things too easy.

I agree. But after installing Primal on my phone, getting the public and private key to be able to log into the same account in my browser was super easy, just copy/paste into a secure location, copy paste into the browser login, and I was off and running. I think it would have been almost as easy if I wasn't already familiar with public/private keys, it would have just taken a few more minutes of research and a brave step into the unknown to expand my comfort zone. Which is what I did way back in 2017 when I started down this path. Eventually, adoption will come as more people get comfortable with how it works, I really don't think we need to massively adjust how it works if it introduces holes in security.
I went into the settings, most of the relays went green, but when I try posting an image with text, the post button remains darkened out
Believe me, many old people and youngs too doesn't care about these things, they just want to use something in the same way they always did. But I agree that with centralized mode with email and password, the user should have access to nsec to be able to login in other apps to, if they want.
Persist default zap amount. For some reason, it occasionally deletes what I set.

Zooming in on opened images is glitchy for me. Ability to open and view other's profile images.
Display replies in chronological order. Why are they displayed in reverse chronological order? Seems like a weird default sort.
Pictures are cropped and with meme pics a lot of time the text gets cropped out so I have to click on the pic to see the full uncropped version.
In my opinion, Primal should not add any new feature before fixing the bugs users already reported. So my suggestion is fix the bugs first, then implement new features. Thanks.

Freedom tech is 💜💫
You are able to scan/type/paste any lightning address via Primal Wallet. To type/paste, select the keyboard tab on the Send screen.
Today I tried to show a colleague at work how useful Nostr is so I opened Primal and searched for the totally innocent word “#nature”. The first three posts with pictures were from AI generated naked girls. I wish we could filter out (as in, not who) posts with 1. Pictures or videos at all 2. Negative filter, as in, i want to view #photography but I don’t want to see #NSFW I know the #hashtags are user generated and could be unreliable, but still this filter option is better then nothing 🤔

The range is limited to 4 steps and the largest is not large enough. Also it does not change the size of the compose text. Ideally the app would respond to iOS accessibility settings.
@miljan I want to be able to login and switch between two accounts on Nostr using my primal iOS app - my personal Nostr account and a community initiative 🍊💊 Nostr account. Once you get that sorted for me, I have no further complaints Sir. 😆🫡🤝🍊💊
Absolutely loving #Primal; but posting is scary - can you implement a ‘save draft’ feature for notes so that I don’t have to rewrite them after agonising over whether to post one or not?
- Custom content filtering algorithms (open sourced + plug and play) - Similar plug and play note ranking algorithms for feed to toggle off chronological + allow discovery These are things I am already thinking about developing myself, but a standard for allowing a user to select their own feed/moderation algo's needs to be decided upon
TikTok grew a lot by putting new users high up in the global feed. To grow Nostr: 1. Get a global feed 2. Make sure new users (even if their posts where not really the latest) show up relatively high in the Global feed. 🤔
One unique selling point of primal could become the option to block pictures and videos that are not “child safe” or NSFW. How can you recognize such content? Most smartphones today have great ML features. A simple model could be trained to filter all incoming posts 🤔
The exchange rate in the wallet is off by a significant percentage when converting between sats and USD
I just want to bump this again because it’s the 3rd or 4th time I’ve suggested this/asked if this is a planned Primal feature. I’ve never gotten any type of response. I believe NIP-42 is implemented on almost every “major” nostr app at this point except Primal. DMs for paying nostr.wine users aren’t available on Primal as a result. Filter.nostr.wine will soon require AUTH and we will have to encourage our users to use something other than Primal.
Please the option that the feed does not auto scroll on top when new posts are available so you can read them from where you were last time you used the app! 🙏
i would like to be able to select text from a note and use ios translate possibilities
Nuzzel.com was an app and a service and was bought by @jack or at least by Twitter and stopped working soon afterwards. God I loved Nuzzel. It would give me a short list of all the stuff that the people I follow where liking and/or resharing. It was like the highlights of that day, in one handy list. Could somebody please build a similar thing but in Nostr 😅 🙏
Not a bug but I find it redundant to have to repeatedly swipe backwards to get out of a note that is nested in replies.
