 Animation looks cool! but you know what will be cool making a renote without freezing the tab. 
 We haven't seen this. Which browser do you use? What are your repro steps? Is it just selecting "Repost note"?  
 Can ya'll test on LibreWolf? 
A handful of stability issues there.

Enjoy! 🚀

 Oh. This wasn't about Primal. Though they could be. So could nostr.wine, nostr.band, and NostrPle... 
 At Primal, we index Nostr data for the sole purpose of providing discovery features to our users. 

Our entire software stack is open under the MIT license. That means that anyone can use our software to do exactly the same thing we are doing. I believe that our indexer is the only open source indexer on Nostr; please correct me if I am wrong. 

It should be understood that Nostr is a radically open network. The social graph and all published data are publicly visible by everyone. Running an indexer is not hard, so I don’t think that “selling this data to advertising agencies” will be a competitive business. Anyone who wants to have this data will have it easily enough.  
 Pretty sure that’s what the scum bags at primal are doing. 
 Wow, that’s harsh. 😂🤣

Why call us scum bags? We build open source software and run services for Nostr. We never attacked another project. 🤷‍♂️ 
 Wen DMs? 
 Hitting DMs next. Aiming to release in 2-3 weeks.  
 The missing global feed. 

Great work, primal is eye-candy, I love it.

 Please tell me you're not using NIP 04 for direct messages. Also, please tell me you're not using... 
 ahahah 😂

This is a vanilla NIP-04 implementation for now. We are keeping an eye on the developments around DM research. If another approach gets traction among clients and relays, we will lean into it.  
 Relay management next? nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr 
 Yes! Can't have v1.0 without it.  
 GM Nostr ☀️

The new Primal iOS build ready for you, featuring:

We are close to being feature complete for the v1.0 release, so now we’ll focus on making the app more robust. Please let us know of all issues you run into, as well as any missing features that are preventing you from being able to use it as your daily driver.

 Our goal is to always get you back to where you were. We'll keep working on that to make it work consistently throughout the app.

 Thanks for the feedback! I think I mostly have good news for you: 

1. The ability to copy the note text should be available in the next release; 

2. We already have the light theme (just click on the moon icon at the bottom of the side menu); 

3. We already show the number of comments for each note. Let me know if this isn't working for you.  
 would like to see replies when going into a profile page 
 thanks; we're working on that!

 We persist "Handle" as "name", and "Display Name" as "display_name". Would love to standardize with other clients; happy to change our implementation if need be.  
 Sir, humble androids still waiting 😅 
 Sorry about the delay guys; we're working on it! 😅

Next week for sure.  
 Is the cache service doing that or the client? 
 Not exactly the cache service, but yes - this is being done on the backend.

 Primal uses this to publish the list of suspected spam accounts (detected by our spam detection algo), so that other clients can use it - if they wish.

 No immediate plans, but this is an interesting feature and we will take a closer look once we finish the core feature set of out Android app.  
 Hi Miljan, I assume this could be solved with a next TestFlight release? 
 Yes, this has been fixed and will be included in the next TestFlight release.  
 Interesting; all my reply tests show up immediately. Somebody from our team will reach out over DMs to try to reproduce the issue you are reporting.

 Hey @franzap, sorry about the delay. 

We've made improvements on both of these points. The editor issue with the ":" character was related to our emoji popup, but should be fixed now. If you are still experiencing it, please let me know which page you are on (main post, reply, or DMs) and which exact sequence of characters is producing the error. 

As for seeing notes immediately after you post them - this should now be fixed too. Please make sure you are using the latest build of our web app (maybe shift+reload) and let me know if you are still experiencing issues.

 We sure do. Shoot!

 Honoured that you would trade your art for a Primal handle. 

We just set it up for you; enjoy. 🌊
