No, it's not. That team has a big trust deficit, with those of us who have been here, for longer, as they keep doing weird stuff. Finding out that they ignored the issues and the PRs for the web-app, for 7 months, while fiddling around on a different branch, while everyone continued to fork from main, is like wut. Dev is 585 commits ahead. The last tag is from Aug 31, 2023. This is just weird behavior, for a Nostr project. They're publishing, technically, but doing it low-key and avoiding the social interaction that is typical of FOSS.

nah, there are different ways to approach foss and different sizes and scopes for project. Primal is evidently a more "company-driven" project, and its okay, it has his role in the space. In the end they implemented nips and tend to be compatible with protocol releasing source code for every binary they ship. Also the product is solid, more than most of the community-driven projects can be, due to more resources invested. I also prefer to use and contribute to more community driven projects, and I think that they tend to respect more users and become better with time, even if initially they tend to be more buggy and unpolished. But every software has his space, and primal team is definitively a good actor, delivering a fully foss client on multiple platform. And no seriuos dev has forked and worked on main branch without realizing that the company was working on other branches, it require just a minimun literacy and competence to figure out.

Okay, thanks for confirming that the Primal devs aren't interested in working with illiterate, incompetent, unserious people like me, so they're just off doing their own corporate thing. I think I've figured that out, now.
