Could I put in a request for Android version? Id really like a live feed. Thanks a lot.

I for one would like Jack Dorsey to…
custom primal lightning addresses
Inputting text is a pain in the ass as autocorrects always to some weird combinations of text that’s more even English. Only happens on primal
Upload gifs and save videos others post
From an accessibility standpoint, allowing larger fonts (ie. using fonts from system settings), or allowing landscape mode would be huge improvements.
Auto translate!!
Recommended follows: ppl that are followed by my follows that i’m not following yet.
I'm trying to post from Android after adding a picture but the post button doesn't work (after uploading has completed)
Wow! That escalated quickly. 😅
Thank you for the incredible feedback everyone. I won’t be able to reply to everyone, but rest assured, we are closely examining all your input. Nostr users care. 💜

In safari on macOS the web consumes a lot of memory and reloads frequently.
I haven't seen a nostr client that auto shows threads without having to click into them. Hopefully that makes sense.
Already there. Go to settings -> appearance
Great suggestions!🦋
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!
Cross-bridging with @Fountain to easily share clips as notes on #nostr
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?
"Follow all follows" option on every profile.
Bookmarks
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
My Primal still jumps up once in a while.
As in I am scrolling through the feed, and then suddenly it goes back up near the top...
I came here to report some keyboard quirks/bugs but as I type this they all seem to be fixed. So thanks!!
-Transact and generate digital receipts for record keeping purposes
-Customizable Payment Limits
-UX is already,navigation easy. Very User friendly
Is there a way to see who zapped a note? If not, then I want that feature.
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.
Bookmarks would be great
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 this is already implemented.
The ability to see who has liked, zapped, renoted a note
I zapped this note. How can I tell who zapped it? I everything I try doesn’t work.
You mean this?


Or you mean see all people who zapped a specific note?
Yes, this
Ah ok, looks like not possible.
Not atm, but on our to-do list.
🫡
Agreed, this needs to get fixed.
Maybe go to your Network Settings screen and see if your relays are configured & connected.
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.
Option to mute notes with specific words.
We changed the default to light mode, but you can still override it in the settings.
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.
If we want mass adoption, we need to give people options that they are comfortable.
Just to confirm: autocomplete feature is not implemented in Primal Android, right?
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.
*too
I would like to be able to mute in public or private way. For now I don't know if the mute is public. Is it?
I was mocked for the basil icon by one who shall remain unnamed. @ODELL
Persist default zap amount. For some reason, it occasionally deletes what I set.
private group chats
Basil is for pizza not for zaps. If you want flora, use deez enuts
Can you add a way for users to make bookmarks or a Note-to-Self function in DMs?
Zooming in on opened images is glitchy for me.
Ability to open and view other's profile images.
Moist AF
I’m confused. But the app looks slick.
ability to save a note or link in primal
I hope for the addition of the following two features:
1. Custom feed groups
2. Translation
Ability to click links on profile bios or at least copy them
This pops up, it would be good to see what’s the exact error, in the future.


Seconded
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.
Profile backups including following!
Universal feed, and yay for bookmarks
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.
NWC
please let us zap using our own wallet like we used to in the testflight
Freedom tech is 💜💫
What device model are you using?
I answer you privately
Would like to send sats to lightning addresses, not only nostr users.
You are able to scan/type/paste any lightning address via Primal Wallet. To type/paste, select the keyboard tab on the Send screen.
thanks, it will be fixed in the next build
Can you just check if the profile QR code scanner in the side menu is working?
This menu prompts me to select an image from my library
Now that I have actually updated the app I have nothing to add 🙄 Thanks! 😁
Polls
NWC definitely!
Nostr Wallet Connect
I’d like to be able to easily manage more than one profile being able to switch between them would be good
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.
Manage multiple accounts
@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. 😆🫡🤝🍊💊
More automated tests! (I can help!)
I would like to see the "Trending 1/4/12HR" available on iOS client. I use those all the time on the web client.
Working on it! 🫡
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
iPad support for the iOS app
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.
🤔
Custom reactions (ie. emoji reactions), and the ability to view reactions to a note.
Why do you want to do that? 🤔
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 😅 🙏
A drafts feature would be 👌
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.
