Can you highlight what do you like on Primal's UI? It's never going to be possible to fork them into Amethyst.

Primal has a clean look and feel, sticking to the information you need. It also has nice spacing between posts and different font sizes and boldface accents for each section (username and icons) that make it easy to separate information. The full horizontal use of the screen is also eye-catching, especially when posting media. Screen transitions are also smooth and beautiful.

Amethyst is a Swiss Army knife, packed with extremely useful features such as relay suggestions, auto-translation, likes and zaps report on each post, graphs, zap splitting in shared posts and much, much more. And, even with all these tools, Amethyst is absurdly fluid, from loading the home screen (splash) to regular navigation. However, the graphical user interface leaves a bit to be desired. In my opinion, the best UIs are from Primal (the most beautiful and intuitive) and FreeFrom (an honorable second place). Primal's integration with the lightning wallet is also worthy of applause. Of course, Primal and FreeFrom do not have the excellent features offered by Amethyst and, in the case of FreeFrom, it still has the problem of the absurdly slow loading screen.

I'm still waiting for primal to support Amber login, I wish they would hurry up so I could try it. Free from seems to be closed source? I can't find a GitHub link anywhere.

Very well put! This is a shortcoming that even great clients suffer from. This is not only the case with Primal, but also with FreeFrom. Unfortunately, my private key has been quite promiscuous and I run risks like this by putting my key directly there. What I can tell you is, since you have a virgin private key, stay with Amethyst and be happy until Primal becomes compatible with Amber. After all, Amethyst is also excellent and, I can say, superior in most aspects, losing only in the UI and, in some points, in the UX.

Take this beautiful, clean, and intuitive FreeFrom notification screen, for example. It seems to me even more beautiful than the Primal notifications screen. @Vitor Pamplona
