Iβm not hopeful at this point, butβ¦


Something to make it easier to follow the updates from a subset of the people we follow. A bit like Google+ used to have the circles..? Essentially I would like to see the updates of my "closest" friends separately. Or does that exist already??
The desktop version never displays my notifications. Takes endlessly to load. Would appreciate if you fix that.
- Client-side spelling and minimal grammar suggestion post confirmation screen.
- Fix dancing follower counts.
- Keep track of which posts have been seen already.
- Surface new posts vs old posts better.
- Dump messaging entirely or fix.
- Allow disable messages from non following handles.
- Make notifications work for deep replies, too. It's very lossy ATM.
I'm on #GrapheneOS.
Thanks!
Btw, notifications should work for deep replies as of yesterday's update (for new notifications). Please let us know if you run into any issues.
Awesome. Updating now.
- Brand / design update.
- Instant post submission in UI; queue up on background to submit to relays. Don't block the UI.
- No delay when tapping from a notification of a reply to viewing that reply directly.
There seems to be tons of synchronous blocking all over the UI, and hitting the backend when it can simply be initially presented instantly on the UI and then further filled out asynchronously by calling the backend in the background.
Notifications -> viewing a reply is one place, but I feel this kind of blocking synchronization all over the app.
- Preload relevant images and video thumbnails before they are in the viewport so that they are already rendered by the time a user looks at it.
- Option to disable video autoplay on the web.
- Ability to edit custom feeds after they've been created.
- Option within advanced search to display only notes, excluding replies.
- For the web version, the ability to choose one of my custom feeds for the right-hand column.
- Ability to directly customize the main feed with things like sorting by content score instead of chronologically, filtering by zap, and choosing the maximum number of notes to display per follow.
Thank you and have a good work! π
3. Groups
4. Make it so when you click the Android notifications, it takes you directly to Primal notifications tab versus just opening the app
1. NIP-17 DM (which will also require a update to the caching service from what I can tell)
2. Better responsiveness on the Blossom server. Uploading is usually fine but deleting blobs is painfully slow and doesn't always actually work.
Wow π€©
Cool ππ«‘
Super Follow - give this user's posts priority in feed.
- I have a bug on primal web in my 'latest' feed where images do not show up but they do in 'latest + reply'. (I'm using librewolf)
- Selecting the algorithm i want to use for displaying my feed (particularly one that shows an equal amount of posts for every people I follow, the less popular are removed from the feed - as proposed by @fiatjaf I think)
- Geohashing feature for posts and communities
- An amazing onboarding for my newb friends
- Ability to stream a video to my audience (directly from my phone and with a token for the web)
- "Stories" that uses NIP-68 and NIP-71 (same as olas if I'm not mistaken)
- Improving the messaging part (white noise compatible, phone calls, etc...)
- built-in TOR like amethyst
...Oh and if you are hiring I would love to help at Primal as a software engineer ππ
Creating **custom multiple relay based feeds** is a must. Plus, it would be great to have gif url e.g. from gifbuddy display instantly softer posting.
Custom emoji βlikesβ.
Simple zap marketplace. Users can select an item to buy, Primal zaps seller, auto creates a DM from buyer to seller with product selection, zap amount, and prompts buyer to send their address. @Ben Justmanπ· @Oshi (ζ¨γ) @SoapMiner @Great Ghee could probably give you better ideas.
#zapsnag marketplace
ZAPSNAG
YES
Zap support is also in the pipeline for @Shopstr Markets; be on the lookout! π
Would be so cool to make this seemless
How would you guys implement this best? Dream scenario
Problem is you run into a lot of trust and issues with potential scams. It works right now simply through WoT.
But if primal were to set something official up to conduct this, they potentially make themselves liable for any scams that take place.
list messages you previously liked
Threaded replies and follower replies displayed first. Like amethyst does.
Audio rooms
I noticed your header on you profile is Madeira Island, i was just there!
Anyway thanks for continuing to make primal great
Deduplication of reposts (so you don't see the same repost multiple times while scrolling)
support for different identities
ability to post to a specify relay or subset of relays
Oh, you know. π
View quoted note β
Nested comment thread. it would be great to see nested comments and drill it down nicely like the yt comment features. easy to read and follow who is responding to which comment than individually go to each comment.
2. what parameters constitute 'trending 24'? simply curious.
3. refine advanced search
Go to studio.primal.net and you can see how we score content :)
ty for sharing this. will do βΊοΈ
Maple AI integration
It would be very cool to have a way to conduct giveaways / raffles according to zaps. Imagine if the Primal app could publicly select a winner based on criteria the user sets such as deadline and zaps/chance.
@miljan I would like to see less bugs. There are several issues managing premium for example.And more privacy features: opt-in to load videos, link previews from external sources.
Native ipad client
Persona management. I want to manger more than one account.
Advanced relay controls including multiple relay types (inbox/outbox etc) that allow an experienced user the truly sovereign Nostr experience within your app.
Caching service is not the only value you offer. It can coexist with a more ethos aligned Nostr experience.
Youβd likely shed a lot of criticism by offering this option. Yes of course people are free to go elsewhere but why would you want this?
Understand if this creates an unsustainable maintenance path for your business model but there may be opportunities for value add services for the hardcore sovereign crowd you are missing out on as well.
Cheers. Great work as it is. No hate here.
Daily zap leaderboard.

Hello, care to chat?

Thank you builders ππΏ
Purchase sats through the app!
An essential feature is the ability to access and create groups. Itβs also crucial to have a chat with multiple features, such as camera support, emojis, and more.
We need all these features in both the mobile app and desktop client.
Reddit style communities like what Satellie.earth started (then abandoned) is a must for bringing more normies.
PPM. Primal Prediction Market.
Sats only.
The way threads are displayed makes it cumbersome to view a conversation happening. User has to click into each comment to read the entire thread. Nostrudel and Nostur make it a lot easier. Nostrudel expands everything and I think nostur expands everything from the OP. It would also be nice to able to sort comments on a post by likes, comments, zaps, or time.
Honestly a zap only mode for those who zap only and don't use the like button.
Yess looking forward to it !
Encrypted Group Chats π¬
I think some problems need to be fixed with uploading images, I tried to upload an image and I think the image is corrupted, I tried to upload it with another client and it worked.
Do you have issues uploading all types of Media through Primal? Or just that one image?
image only, I haven't tried other formats yet
Private group chats.
Reliable DMs
I've listen to @jb55 more or less implying that all clients and apps could be relays too (if I got it we'll ) in order to increase decentralization and censorship resistance.
Maybe some relays features running locally on the device without the user even being aware of it, could be cool.
I2p support
Option to Auto Follow all primal legends at first install (so the feeds aren't so empty at the start as this drives noobs away).
Pin login to enter primal?
If the app could just stop randomly quitting on me every time iβm on it thatβd be an improvement
Hey, we'd love to try and solve this problem for you. Can you provide any additional information about this issue? Your setup and any steps to reproduce this problem would be appreciated
Hey, thanks for replying. I use the app on my iphone, always latest update, and it randomly exits to home screen as I read a post or scroll through. Thereβs nothing specific that triggers that as far as I can tell
Thank youπͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»
Language translate!
Ability to edit posts!
Add an option for users to attach/upload local files outside of photo album
Not suck
If Primal is meant to be noob friendly, this screen shot illustrates a problem.
Noobs do not know what a "Caching Service" is, what it does, or why we need one. The explanation is too technical. Noobs don't know what "fail over" is. If you walk up to 100 random people on the street, how many do you think are going to know what "fail over" means in the precise way that this "help" thing is using the terms?
Noobs are not aware of lists of other "Caching Services".
Noobs do not have a preference as to whether we should only leave one entry in the pool. Start9 did this on one of their steps...I'm sitting there reading the little if-then choice they left in their steps and I'm thinking to myself "But I don't know enough to even have an opinion on this choice they're telling me I have to make. What about people like me?"
Please don't ever assume we know enough to make decisions about this kind of thing if you want Primal to be noob friendly.
Also, as a sanity check for us noobs who are never sure if our stuff is messed up or if it's your side that's messed up, could there be a section in Primal where y'all post all the stuff that you are presently aware of that is messed up that people are bitching about? If I notice that the likes and reposts aren't working, it would be nice to be able to go to the "Known Issues Currently Affecting Users" section and see for myself "Oh...shit...look at that...it's not just me experiencing this issue" or, alternatively "Oh, damn...I'm the only one? Either I'm the first one to notice it which is unlikely or something's messed up on my end."
That alone would be very valuable for those of us who are struggling to use this protocol because we haven't spent the last 20 years learning to code in an economy that requires much more than just coders.


Integrated video compression. I want to upload my videos directly from my iPhone without having to compress it / change format first. You guys can decide what size and format the file should be to work best on nostr, I should not have to care. Either compress it automatically or add a button that says Β«this file is too big you stupid cunt, let me compress for youΒ»

1. Pin/fingerprint lock on the mobile app
2. Possibility to zap comments in livestreams
Preview of a Post before saving. π¦Ύ
Fountain needs competition. It is clunky and slow, and hiccups all the time. Next to Apple or other podcast platforms, it feels like a high school science project. Can Primal provide an alternative and optionality, for the benefit of everyone?
I would love @primal cache to include all reaction types in reaction counts for each post. Currently it only counts β€οΈ and π€ and ignores all other ones.
Primal to be released on iPad?
Mini app store on primal would be phenomenal.

Primal Store for zaps purchase fix?
