I don't understand, but primal has got the best search (it actually finds stuff). Hopefully this means you can steal that:)
Alex is exposing the primal search to all nostr devs
Boom. ๐ฅ
Wow, this is cool ๐
Q: Why is it called "Antiprimal"? Do you hate Primal?
A: Not at all! The name is tongue-in-cheek. We love Primal's infrastructure! But we want it to be accessible through anti-proprietary, standards-compliant interfaces.
Just call the lead dev a faggot.
The easier nostr is for builders, the better off nostr will be

a COUNT verb isn't useful that much for stats when compared to something like NIP-85, you wouldn't be able to do something like zap amount sent by a pubkey.
Indeed. I'm planning to support NIP-85 as part of this equation.โ
I think the reason they are so good at it is they are actually indexing and storing notes on their own server, not just searching relays and hoping they find them.
Yes
nice & agreed we can't be mad at primal. we should be asking why aren't the NIPs better?
Correct. And this new gateway relay uses Nostr standards, opening that search up to every dev that wants to add it into their app. It essentially sits in front of Primal and translates centralized data into Nostr data.
This is cool, we need better search.
Does it supports imeta dimensions for notes that don't include them?, this drives me crazy and as shifts the feed when scrolling, I been looking for a proper solution for a while. both primal and ditto are pretty stable.
From the repo:
Why "Antiprimal"?
The name is tongue-in-cheek - we love Primal's infrastructure! But we want it to be accessible through anti-proprietary, standards-compliant interfaces. This gateway makes Primal's powerful features available to the entire Nostr ecosystem.
Do you think the use of this taxes resources for Primal by non-Primal customers? Curious how this will be seen by stakeholder participants on network, or if it even matters and is just a convenience for all. Thoughts?
Rock on!
Sacrificing UX for even more centralization isnt the answer. This is so dangerous, I refuse to use any client that has this implemented
hell yeah. build bridges to all the things
This is excellent. We are going to look into incorporating some (or all) of this into the core product. Nice work @Alex Gleason!
One reminder to all the Nostr devs out there: let's not centralize around Primal's caching infrastructure. Our stack is open source. Anyone can and should stand up their own instances.

haha "anti" primal
why would people be anti-primal? oh ya, I know why..
