One thing I love about Primal is it’s extremely easy to copy a url to a note, which you can send to anyone and it will render in the browser.

I use Damus almost exclusively, but I always have to switch to Primal to grab those urls. 

 I agree. I use this as much as I can to text memes in my text message group chats 

 Would it help if I made an iOS shortcut that you could use to copy an njump link for a note when you open the share sheet on Damus? 

 I’m not sure I understand… so maybe? 😂

I just want to quickly copy a url that will render a nostr post in the browser, for anyone who doesn’t have a nostr app or account. 

 Install this shortcut and then you’ll see Copy Njump Link as an option when you open the share sheet on a note in Damus. 🤙

 Wow thanks!!  I’ll check this out 🤙 

 Hey bro its Barry from Outlands.  I'm hunting you down on nostr cause I'm trying to get an item from you I gave you a while back.

Its the "1st place Ore Harvested" trophy lol..    Sorry I dunno how to DM on this network yet, but, you are in my Discord channel.  Lets chat! 

 lol yooo good to hear from you 🤙

I’ll hit you up from the other account 

 @NotBiebs how do I get here?  ‘Share’ is not an option for me from a note in Damus 

 Never mind!  I found it just after posting 🤙

Thanks again it works 

 id like to hear this. i just did it to see, and the only difference i could find is the note separation line on damus is 5px, and the note separation line on primal is 1px. 

 videos play nicely and fit in the screen on primal. on damus, sometimes it's hard to get the whole video into the screen without the video auto-stopping. if you click into the video on damus, the stopping problem goes away, but the video is small and now that i'm on iOS 18, i can't make the video full screen. even when i could make it full screen, it would auto-stop when making it bigger. everything is much smoother in primal. if you click on a video while it's playing in primal, it goes full screen without stopping the video.

as for images, i can't make the larger anymore on damus. on primal i'm still able to do that. 

 Ah yeah our video playback is awful, i will take a crack at it 

 Video is the main thing. Primal did a great job on that. 

 Primal has a decent moat because of the web version, so it’s easier to slap it onto webapps that use nostr. 

I currently use nostter to show people their profile and because I think the design is adorable, but I let them connect/view global feed on primal.net

Damus as an app is way more reliable and performant. No problems uploading content like videos or images, speed is super consistent. Seems like more focused engineering on Damus. 

 I also like that Primal displays media and links exactly where you put them in the note. Damus moves all the media to the bottom into a carousel. Links also get moved too. So sometimes the formatting doesn’t look right. 

 We just do what twitter does 🤷‍♂️ i don’t see what’s inherently better about that approach 

 It’s just a personal preference. Not sure if that’s what the majority of people prefer. 

 Wow. Ive used clients that put tags at the bottom but never one that shifts the content around. Does Damus offer a normal unmodified mode? 

 No, but that would be nice 

 Would be awesome to display a carousel if multiple media links are placed right next to each other in the note without moving the carousel to the bottom 

 Actually, Primal does do the same thing with moving all the media into the carousel at the bottom. My brain got confused cause I’ve been using NotPrimal a lot and the web app displays all the media exactly where they were placed. 

 I like to zap using cuckbucks with Strike. Can’t do that with Primal. 

 Tried iOS Nostur?

it’s the closest thing to twitter I’ve found🤙🏽 https://image.nostr.build/ce2034ad76ce356f738f8449b4cd2ce893999646f8e187b19f1db8b8d1406c96.jpg  

 Yeah I’ve tried it, but I prefer Damus and Primal 

 I was replying to Ancap Revolt 🤙🏽😂 

 I generated my keys on Nostur lol. I am obsessed with aesthetics, and Nostur looks like it was developed in 2014, and it loads slower than Primal and Damus. I appreciate all the extra features it has, but I think Primal is closer to modern X in terms of aesthetics. 

 lol 

I generated my keys on Damus and been using Primal as daily for easy zaps until it shit the bed last week.

Really love Nostur layout…Must be the GIF keyboard 😂 

 GIF integration is nice. Nostur is feature rich, I just don’t like the design of the UI. It has a good layout, just looks outdated 

 What don’t you like about it? We’ve done a lot of research and most seem to like the thread view… 

 I don’t like how the replies look like comments on a live stream or something. The replies are just unintuitive. Showing every reply to every reply is convoluted. The way it is done on twitter and on primal is far more intuitive and makes understanding the context of each reply easier. 

Plus, the font size doesn’t affect the size of the font on the original post in a thread. This alone makes it unusable for me. I like most of the UX of Damus but the replies and large font on posts are just aesthetic mistakes imo

 Like I would rather not see every thread and every post linked to the original post in the replies to it at once. I prefer to only see direct replies, and if I’m interested in viewing a specific thread, purposely clicking on that thread. The replies on Damus are cluttered.
