Primal gets way too much hate for absolutely no reason, sure it uses a centralized wallet which people don't like, but it's not supposed to be a main wallet solution, it's supposed to be a small wallet for zaps which is just fine.
UX and UI wise it is miles ahead of anything else, at least that I've ever seen and zaps work better than any other client out there.
Media uploads work, Zaps work, streams work, it has built in wallet, relays, and media servers which to the best of my knowledge no other client has all three.
It has an android, iOS, and web version.
It has built in live streaming now, follow pack, Nip05s, Articles, DMs.
And on top of absolutely nailing all of this the app is
SEXY AF!
Why are people hating on this, this is literally nostrs best app and furthest along.
How the heck are @miljan and the whole @primal team able to do what they do? They deserve massive respect.
I will stand by this cause there is no second best.
Wuv you primal team! 🫂 🐶

You are also only reading from the primal server
I’m primarily a @Damus user but have been exclusively using @primal for the past couple weeks. Main reason: I wanted a new and fresh experience. That’s the beautiful thing about the Nostr protocol. Each client allows you to explore the protocol in a similar but unique way. Tribalism isn’t necessary here. Do Nostr your way.
I've been primarily Amethyst because it's what I'm used to, but have been using Primal more now.
I've been using yakihonne pretty much for ever super underrated
That's one my my favorites too.
Not being able to remove the Livestreams from the top of the page and the fact it's only showing a fraction of the Livestreams on nostr is kinda annoying.
The best thing about primal is the one tap zaps and that it has an inbuilt wallet(even if it's a know your client custodial wallet, its good for normies or techno illiterate peoples)
My main issues with primal is just how buggy it is, app crashing during uploads, pages not loading, mute only works half the time, etc.
And that it wastes so much data and battery compared to any of the other nostr apps.
But that said it has improved a lot over the past few months and I think they'll solve all those issues once they get around to it.
I just think they should put more attention into fixing bugs and battery/data usage rather than adding more crap to the app.
I would put primal second after yakihonne for user friendliness and usability, yakihonne also has an issue with just randomly crashing and restarting the app though.
Nothing is perfect on nostr, it's still very early days.
Yeah I noticed that you see a lot less on primal.
Like there are accounts I've followed with amethyst that simply do not show up on primal.
This must be why
Yeah, I've noticed that too.
Jumble, Yakihonne and Amethyst are my regulars.
I will admit I've found Primal search is often *slightly* better with more than one keyword results.
i came here to say this. this is why i don't use it.
i don't approve
Agree! I use @primal everyday
Primal is absolutely a go to all in client for newcomers and Apple maniacs 😁
@Damus is my favorite tho. No frills
Feel free to tag us anytime if you found any issues with yakihonne a screenshot or a video record will do great so we can reproduce the issue, thanks for the support Kayne 🙏
Thanks for the feedback and support 🫡
Hey @paul keating is there anyway we could get the old people feature back though? I like the follow packs but liked the recommendations for individuals.
Both would be cool.
Yeah I'd like that.
Do you remember the time when ralf and onyx were censored on primal?
Its search functionality is very good
