 Incredibly smooth ux, and easy to use. Especially for those are not as technologically advanced (... 
 Thank you Roya! 

Yeah, much more to come. 🫡

 Yes, you do need to sign in with your private key (starting with "nsec...") in order to interact beyond the read only mode. 

Btw, welcome to Nostr!  
 Is TestFlight still active? 
 No, we only do private TestFlight these days. We recommend the public App Store version to everyone.  
 My first note from #Primal 
 Welcome ⚡️

Primal can serve as both your daily spending wallet and your social media client. Let us know how you like it! 🤙💜

 Legal compliance reasons. I cover our approach in more details here:

 Sorry about that! Did you try re-uploading it with the latest version?  
 Strange. My guess is that this has something to do with camera permissions; maybe that setting got corrupted somehow on your device. 

Speaking of alternatives, we now also have the "scan image" feature (a button on the scan screen), so you can also do that.  
 🎯 
 I’m having issue receiving the wallet confirmation email. Worked seamlessly for you? 
 Hey Will, we should be able to help you with this. 

Did you not receive the email? Sometimes they get caught in the spam folder. In any case, feel free to reach out over a DM and we can sort it out.

 Nice humble brag @Deleted Account.

But seriously, we did pick up a bigger device to try these things out. Hopefully soon.  
 LFG!!

 Yes, we are aware of this issue. Aiming to fix it in an upcoming build.  
 This has been fixed and will be included in the upcoming update!  
 Thanks for the kind words sir! 

Yes, we have this on our to-do list. Aiming to get to it in the next couple of weeks!  
 Hey nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr, I think this issue mig... 
 Sure, we can take a closer look. Just to confirm, are you referring to the Primal iOS app? Note that we don't have a "follow back" button (we always display "follow"). Also, did you lose your entire follow list or just the last follow action didn't persist?  
 I was using Testflight but the wallet was only in  the appstore app. 

why is that? 
 We decided not to do public TestFlight releases for the time being. We test the app with an internal group of testers who are willing to suffer through issues and help us troubleshoot problems. 

Once the app is ready for prime time we publish it to the App Store. We generally recommend using the public App Store build, as it is the most stable one.  
 The new primal wallet is really really really sleek 
 Somebody’s been using a private TestFlight build of Primal. 

Next release will drop in a week or so. 👀👀

 I like it. 

Recurring payments are super-important.  
 These are the defaults. 
 Not anymore. We changed them a while ago (and corrected the spelling on coffee). Perhaps you installed a private TestFlight version some time ago and the settings persisted? 

Curious, if you hit "restore defaults", which values do you get?  
 Well, I dunno how they spell it in Europe haha, maybe I'm the idiot.. 
 The further east you go in Europe, the funnier the spelling gets. 
 Coffee is misspelled?  
 😂 will fix 
 GM ☀️

You don’t like the idea of having a set of zap presets with predefined messages, or you don’t like our choice of defaults? 
 No more than 20 min otherwide you drop into Rem and screw the whole day 
 i think you’re right 
 Building in public >

 yup nvm you're taking desktop 
as you were 😂 
 All good! We are fixing the keyboard issues for the upcoming iOS release. Note drafts will come later.  
 When in doubt, take a nap

 Are you referring to the iOS app? 
 With the latest primal.net update (a few days ago) I finally stopped cringing when I look at our web app on the desktop. It mostly renders correctly now. 😅 

Ok, hit me with the stuff that's busted now. I'm ready.  
 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, FREEDOM IS NOT GRANTED, IT IS TAKEN AND DEFENDED 🫡 
 GM ☀️ 
 Yes, apologies, we had some issues with the wallet backend this morning. Should be resolved now!  
 That actually works well; esp. when others are affected, as was the case here.  
 I'm currently able to only scan lightning invoices, not addresses. can you help troubleshoot?

 Sure, happy to troubleshoot. Please hit @Marko over DMs and he'll try to repro the issue you are running into.  
 Great work! Waiting for the iOS update now 😎⚡️ 
 You won't be disappointed. 😉   
 Check out the Primal web app; we recently added some new features: 

- Note drafts 
- Emoji picker 
- Faster media uploads with a progress indicator 
- Smart contact list (remembers previous user selections) 
- Revamped custom zaps and zap preset settings 
- Profile page has a QR code now 
- Improved feed rendering

 Great to hear you like the app! 

You should be able to scan any QR code that contains either a lightning address or an invoice. 

The upcoming release, due in a couple of weeks, will include the ability to type/paste as well.

 Hey Charlie, we are preparing a big iOS update; it should be ready in 1-2 weeks. 

In the meantime please note that you already can send to any lightning address by scanning a QR code. If this doesn't work for you, please let me know.  
 Nostr has a discoverability problem? 

A brand-new unverified npub showed up and made it to the top of trending in a couple of hours.
