Hey Nostr, the Primal Article Editor is here! Our goal was to build a feature-rich, rock-solid long form note editor that interoperates perfectly with other Nostr long form apps like Highlighter, Habla, and Yakihonne. It’s a complex product with a lot of moving parts—not easy to nail on the first try. We think we got pretty close. Try it out and let us know what you think. We’ll keep improving it until it’s tip-top. 🫡

low signal notes from users who post too often kinda hurt my feelings.
I’ve been using the Primal editor for the last week. It is by far the best publisher I’ve used on Nostr. nevent1qqsdxku9htc2pwfdcdqw9vqt7k2ukqvr9g852y6qlsgccntw6eldwpspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgadynr6
Yes 🔥 We need this. There are surprisingly few long form apps even though that is a clear winning use case for nostr. Excited to see this launch 🚀 nevent1qqsdxku9htc2pwfdcdqw9vqt7k2ukqvr9g852y6qlsgccntw6eldwpspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgadynr6
Our article editor is markdown-based, so all copy/paste actions should interoperate with other markdown editors. You can also switch to code view via the main toolbar and copy/paste any markdown fragments if you don't want the whole document.
Private article drafts are encrypted and saved on your relays. This is fully open and interoperable with other Nostr apps that support this feature. For example, if you sign in to Highlighter you will see your private drafts saved via Primal (and vice versa).
Just tried it out. Clean. Works nice. It doesn't look like you have a link to it built into a menu yet, but I assume that is intentional until you get it where you want it.
@miljan Very cool, it's super intuitive and as a long-time WordPress user it felt really familiar. It's also great we can save and preview before publishing. I'm super impressed you already integrated tables! I just had a little bug with bolding but it was easy to fix looking at it in plain text; when saving it just changed ** for \*\*. Other than that, no issues at all, congrats ⚡️⚡️
Boa! Mais uma opção para fazer textos longos editáveis e artigos de forma geral 🎉

This is the way bro
Yeah Highlighter is great; one of my favourite Nostr apps. We made sure to interoperate with it.
Man, you guys are so far ahead of everyone else at this point, slow down for nostr's own good (no don't).
Cant open on Tablet ?? It thinks it is a phone :-) ..will test it on computer .. and ffirst thing I am looking for is hjkl :-) #vim style key bindings !
This is FABULOUS - but for me the Publish button is not working - neither in Brave Browser nor in Orion (like Safari). I have previously been able to publish and everything else seems to work fine - what is the issue with Publish? How to fix it?
Did you have any issue with Pubish button not working - it will not do anything for me in Brave or Orion browser - everthing else seems fine.

No error message. Using Brave Browser with Nos2X extension. Also using Orion Browser (from Kagi) is the same When I try now with Safari and Nostore - I can see there is one Draft pending but it never shows. I cannot see it or click on it - it does show up in Brave and Orion image
We can't seem to reproduce this issue, but we have one other user reporting exactly the same problem, so you are definitely not crazy. 😅 Can you try publishing via Chrome? Or from another computer? I am curious if this is related to your setup or maybe something in the content of your article is tripping the publish command.
Exactly the same on Chrome - Publish button does nothing - no error, just nothing at all. Running on Macbook Air M1 with Ventura 13.1
Can you try this: 1. Copy markdown content of your draft 2. Delete the draft 3. Create a new article (exact same as the previous one) and publish without saving a draft first
Somebody from our dev team will reach out via DMs on Monday to troubleshoot this. Thanks for your patience!
Problem persists. It looks like it posts - it says that it has posted: image
Yes - indeed it is fixed now and works fine. Thanks for all you and the team are doing. BTW - any plan to have a tool or automation to help (re)publish items from Ghost into Primal Reads? Copy/Paste works but it is quite a few manual steps.
Good to hear that it all works now and thanks for the feedback! As for your question about importing content from Ghost and other places... yes, we are working on this; stay tuned!
