Primal iOS users, we need your input! 🫡 Assuming you’ve already upgraded to the latest 1.2 build, what are your top requests for the next release? Which new features would you like to see in Primal? What are the most annoying bugs that still need to get fixed?

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 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.

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.
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 🤔
- 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
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 🤔
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 😅 🙏
