 At long last, Primal 2.0 is here. 

Our team has been working around the clock for many months to reach this milestone. Primal now offers a much more comprehensive view of Nostr, with the following additions: 

- New tab: READS
- New tab: EXPLORE  
- Feed Marketplace 
- Advanced Search 

We also launched Primal Premium. For $7/month, you can get a Primal Name and Nostr Tools for power users. We’ll cover all this in much more detail in the coming days. In the meantime, we invite you to download Primal 2.0, try it out and let us know how you like it. 

Enjoy! 🤙💜

 I look forward to all the reviews this weekend

 Zapstore release inbound? 
 good work! 

can't pay for Premium using sats? 
 yes 
 Yes, you can buy Primal Premium with sats via the web app. For mobile apps, we support in-app purchases only at this time.  
 this option 'Become a Primal Legend' seems very tempting! 
 btw thanks for repairing the search 
(that was really a pain not being able to search) 
 Testing 
 Very impressive, keep up the good work! 
 The wait was worth it 🫡 
 Awesome! Will check it out asap. 👍🏻 
 Loving it so far. Great work. Congrats to you and your team 🙌 
 Grazie from Florence 🇮🇹we love your protocol! 
 Thank you! It's feeling awesome 
 Happy to see it! Good job team! 
 You're going to love this release. It's smooth as hell. It's fast! Advanced Search works so damn well too. You'll love Reads for extra long form content. And you'll love the feed marketplace, which super charges your home feeds with new algorithms from Nostr's DVM developers.

 Btw why is the annual premium membership more expensive than the monthly? 12 x 6.99 = 83.88 < 1 x 89.99 🤔 
 This is magic. I love you man.  This is amazing. 
 congrats  @miljan!! 

Favorite features of Primal 2.0 so far:
- Feed marketplace - we need more/better feeds, but “Popular from npubs you follow” is already a game-changer for me
- Reads - long form articles that you can “highlight” and easily post clips
- Contacts Backup (premium feature), i can sleep at night again

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m  
 Feeds and Reads is just genius! 
 I don't know if you ever tried Primal or not, but you actually have to. I don't know a single app that can run out of this world  "just like that". It feels like I have a new phone.

TRY IT!

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m 
 I liked that! 👍⭐️ 
 STRAIGHT FIRE.

A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN. 
 Fire indeed  
 🔥🙌 
 it’s 🔥 
 Very nice! 👏🫂🎨 
 Nice job!  
 The READ section is so obvious to expand the horizons of a kind:1 client... that no one had done it yet. Often the most obvious and simple things are the ones that make all the difference. Bravo @miljan!

Suggestion: add it to profiles as well, I've been begging for months; if a user puts their time on a lengthy piece of content, it's a shame not to highlight and enhance it in the profile. 
 Oh. This is a good idea. I like it. 
 Like this? 
https://m.primal.net/MdOT.jpg 
 Oh, dam I misread the "reads" label.
Maybe is "Articles" better?

Btw, I would put it before Replies, it's more important.
And I would pin the last article before the last notes, if it is "recent" (e.g. posted in the last month). 
 Freerse and Nostrudel have that, actually. And Chachi is getting it. 
 noStrudel has everything, of course. 
 Thank you! 🫂 

We did this; there should be a Reads tab on the profile screen in all Primal clients. Let me know if it's not showing up for you.  
 Sorry my fault, found it:

 Ficou excelente pra usar múltiplos perfis, antigamente travava tudo e demora muito. Parabéns pelo trabalho!  
 can you add a switch off button for the Trending Panel, thanks 
 Congrats, looking good 
 Epic.  
 Heads up the "Add Feed" button in the "Feeds Marketplace" is showing off screen on my normal 100% zoom level. Couldn't add the feed without changing zoom level. Doesn't even scroll to show it. Might trick some people.

Feed marketplace is a good thing. Thanks for adding it.

 Why the boorkmarks in Primal is different of bookmarks in Amethyst? Not the same content 
Obs. Using the same Nostr profile.
cc @Vitor Pamplona 
 I think we are still in the old style.  
 Interoperability is important. 
 Nobody said that it isn't.  
 CONGRATS! ONWARD. 🫡 
 👍👍👍 
 Wow! This new @primal version is amazing! The reads idea 👏
Thank you the whole team 💜 
 It's fast! 🔥🧡⚡👊 
 Yesss, right?! 🧡  
 Let’s see if gif uploads work

 can we make lists yet? 
 Oh, snap. Great work. Love the Reads section. 
 Do I need to reinstall, or, on Android it is updated?

 how to write long form post  
 Do you have an option to expand all sub replies, like Amethyst?  
 Congrats on the release! For anyone who wants to take a deep dive, here’s my conversation with @miljan on @Titcoin 

https://youtu.be/kqR_IQfKic8 
 Is this pricing a joke? 🤣
https://m.primal.net/MdPA.jpg 
 Maths hard I guess

 Game changer! 
 Smooth is my first reaction!

 thanks man! 
 This is native app only, right? Can't see it on the web.. 
 This is amazing. Noticeable performance improvement. Thank you. 🙂 

nostr:note1kaeajwh275kdwd6s0c2ksvj9f83t0k7usf9qj8fha2ac7m456juqpac43m  
 Congrats ! And seems to run faster now. 
 #nostr only! 
 🎇 
 Looking good! 
 So that's why my computer fans are no whirring at full speed. Cool! 
 PRIMAL TO THE WIN 
 Big NIP Energy 
 For Primal OGs, are the Nostr/Lightning addresses and VIP profile revoked after the 6 months if a subscription is not made? 
 Yes, all OGs get 6 months of free premium. After that they will need to subscribe for more time. 
 What’s OG?  
 What will happen to those who already have a primal name? What if they don’t subscribe?  
 If you currently have the Primal OG free subscription, it will run out after 6 months. If you decide not to renew your subscription, the name will become available again for purchase. This name will no longer be available to you unless you purchase. 
 Wen iOS and desktop NWC? 
 There was NWC in the iOS beta, but was removed for AppStore release. Probably due to fear of Apple banning it. 
 There's NWC in Damus. 
 love it 
 Is there a way to connect a wallet via NWC? 
 Yes in Primal for Android, but not in iOS unfortunately; due to App Store restrictions.  
 Apple’s restrictions are odd, seems it is allowed on some clients. 
 not yet on zapstore? 
 You just won the internet 🛜 HUGS 🫂 THANKS 🙏  
 congrats! 2.0 is a great leap, loving the new stuff and the speed! 
 When streaming now section? 
 Looks cool! Just installed- try to keep default profile pic works for all. It was looking like a men placeholder pic. I wish they are default avatars. 
 Thank you 
 just downloaded on Android.  so far so good!! 
 💜🧡🫡 
 Great job. Huge fan of this update 🫡 
 Well done sir. 
 It’s great! Great job!

The only thing I think misses is a good people searcher. That’s pretty cool and useful too 
 Would have been nice to know my feed resets would be gone if I updated.

Now I have to type them all in again (topical searches and then click "Add to home feed")

PS - "Marketplace" threw me off, I thought you were saying your app now supported embedding marketplace feeds e.g., links from people's Shopstr listings. 
 hi, why do you need my name and birthrate when setting up a wallet in the app? 
 Xo sick, I have been waiting for a long time and now I have it I’m so blissful 🫡💜 
 💜 
 Congrats!  
 🧡🧡 
 💜🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸💜 
 Great job! 💜💜💜

 How are the “reads feed” populated? What clients are they pulled from? 
 Just upgraded. First impression: this version seems to be a game changer ⚡️ 
 Small issue with font size in some places. Otherwise, great improvement! 
 Never mind I am stupid 
 Awesome 🔥 Congratz to the team.
Is 2.0 still using legacy NIP-04 DMs, or does it support NIP-44 encryption? 
 posting via web is failing 
and what's that weird legacy symbol in front of the 7.  don't you accept sats? 
 💜🧡💥⚡ 
 Something that I would like is pulldown to refresh and scroll without need to click to see the new notes. 
 yep  
 Are you referring to Android app? It already has pull to refresh feeds. Is it not working? 
 Yes Android. Pulldown to refresh works but I think shouldn't be necessary to click on button to load new posts. I just would like to scroll to see the new posts after I pulldown. Understand? 
 Like how X app works. 
 Amazing work well done. Can we pay in btc/LN? 
 Thank you! 

Yes, you can buy Primal Premium with sats via our web app.  
 Am sold ⚡️ 
 Trying to login via the web app seems continuously loading…

 THANK YOU SIR.🙂

 Impressive 
 YEAH YAH! 
 Very smooth. Thank you. 

 I hope a Mac app can be possible in the future. 
 amezing  
 Thanks 
 Nice work!
NIP55 Android signer (Amber) is quite an essential feature imo, would love to see it in primal too. 
 Working on it! 
 Amazing! 
 Well done on all the progress. Look forward to having a play around with it 
 Primal 2.0 looks amazing - loving the long form post ux - congrats  @miljan and the whole primal team.

 Thank you!🙏  
 Amazing work! Primal is by far the most polished client I’ve used. Keep it up 🍻 
 I've got a great feeling about this. Was listening to you chatting with  @walker and got the tingles... Feels like the future is here... 

Um... so you know how you said you don't like pre-announcing stuff such that you don't get bombarded with qs... promise I have just 1...

Is an NSEC Bunker in the works for Primal? I manage a couple of acocunts on behalf of my student journalists... It'd be great to not have them worrying about losing or accidentally leaking an nsec...  

Cheers. VERY impressed 😎  
 Hello, we're currently in the process of implementing a way to sign in to Primal using an nsec bunker. This feature is not available yet, but will be in the foreseeable future. Stay tuned! 
 Awesome. Thanks 😃  
 Bravo! 
 Primal 2.0 is sick 🫡 
 sick! 
 A heartfelt thank you to @miljan for your unwavering dedication and passion in building and enhancing Nostr. Your efforts are making @primal faster and more user-friendly with each improvement. 🫡💜🫂

 Just updated 💪🏽🫡 
 Thanks for all you do 🫡❤️ 
 Xo Sick 🤙🫂

 Primal 2.0 is very nice 🫡 
 crushed it and felt obliged to pay. thank you for your service.  
 How do I create a custom feed?? I can't seem to find out how, yet. I can see clearly how I follow other feeds, but how do I create one?! #nostr #primal #help 
 just updated...Great job.  #Primal 2.0 is amazing! 
 Congratulations! Looking forward to checking out the android version. Already peeked around on the web version and enjoyed it. 

But also: people shouldn't work around the clock :) 
 Congrats, the app really is excellent.  Love the new Reads feature!

When I’m watching a video on Primal that someone shared in a post, where is that video file hosted? 
 Thank you for all of the hard work, @miljan !!! 
 As far as new features on Primal, I would have settled for a follow button that works.  
 merci @miljan.......done 
 YakiHonne says the have “workarounds” whatever they may be, and there is a script that allow Damus to zap (Will referred to it in a recent video and mentioned not caring if Apple finds out at this point) 
 I use Alby Hub and connect to YakiHonne and Damus via NWC. I haven’t seen a way to do that with Primal and don’t want to use their wallet. 
 Yeah, primal has their own wallet and it’s KYC, yuck. Hehe

 It used to be the go to client for noobs since you didn’t have to mess around with finding a wallet that works and connecting it, or if you just wanted a client for zapping. It actually is a really nice app, minimal but still functional. It’s even better now with the new layout.
