 I’d like the app to look correct on an iPad Pro 11”.  The resolution and aspect ratio is off.... 
 Yes, we are planning to implement full iPad support in the future, but it might be a few months before we get into that.

 Yes, you can go to any user profile, click on the three dots in the top right corner, and select "Add user feed" from the context menu. That feed will then be available in your list of feeds.  
 Thank you. 🫡 

A lot more to come.  
 Yes, that's a special case that we need to handle better. Thanks for reporting!

 Hey Justin, it could be that some clients haven't yet picked up your latest profile info. I see that you have a Primal lightning address, and it is functional. Just sent you a zap. ⚡  
 We don't support that feature on Android yet, but planning to add it soon.

 The issue seems to be related to our Android client. Zaps work correctly from our iOS client. We are looking into it and planning to issue a patch soon.  
 Never a dull moment here. I love this place.  
 🤝  
 Hey #zapathon enjoyers! Nice work overwhelming Primal’s infrastructure. Our apologies, the Primal Wallet is down atm; you can’t send or receive payments. You can just see your balance and transaction history. We are working to bring it back up, stay tuned. 

Rest assured, we are improving the system and hope to be better prepared for the next #zapathon!  
 Remember that zap and send it later. Please sir, mi familia.  
 We can't live without zapping; working hard to fix! 
 You had to bring that up, didn't you? 
 Happy to help 💜🤙 The confusion was from the wording of the zap notifications. It threw me o... 
 Yeah, we need to improve the notifications feed. It's on our to-do list.  
 Most of my zaps received on this post aren’t in my primal wallet. I need help please 🥲

 Hey Kayla, we see all these zap transactions in your Primal wallet. If you can't see them, we can help troubleshoot. Please email us at support@primal.net.  
 Awesome! 

 @corndalorian we owe you one. 🫡  
 We got some questions about the gossip/outbox model, so I’ll clarify Primal’s position. 

We like the outbox model. We think it will help nostr scale and become more censorship resistant. Primal will roll out support for the outbox model in several steps. We recently upgraded all Primal clients to manage relays per NIP-65. We are currently in the process of upgrading our clients to leave relay hints on all published events to make sure that outbox clients work well with the content published by our clients. Next we will randomize the default list of relays for new users to help spread content out. The final step will be to implement reading content directly from relays, which will be used in conjunction with our caching service. 

Imho, the winning approach involves using the outbox model together with caching nodes, giving us the best of both worlds. I described this approach a year ago when we launched the preview of Primal: 

https://habla.news/u/miljan@primal.net/Lightning-fast%20UI%20for%20Nostr 
 How do you suggest we should set the initial set of relays for new users?

 Afaik our upload service is up and running. Can you tell me which Primal app you're using (web/iOS/android) and what's the exact error message you are getting?  
 Looks very interesting! 

What's the best way of getting one? Preorder from their website? 
 Thanks for these suggestions, but they appear to be replicas of Twitter, Mastodon, etc. accounts. We are looking for real nostr accounts, genuinely posting on nostr and engaging with other nostr users.

 Thanks for the feedback! 🫡 

Yes, the hover user info panel is on our to-do list for the web app. Not sure of the timeline atm, but we'll get this going at some point.  
 ANABOLIC JUICE!

What's the ratio? 
 Not sure if I'm doing it right, but I just put 3 raw egg yolks and 3/4 glass of OJ.  
 GM ☀️

Trying the OJ + egg yolks thing. Tasty and feels great so far!

 Hey guys, the reason you can't zap  @Stakeoftheart is because the lightning address setup in his nostr profile is "Justin_Tokyo@primal.net". That address was never configured on Primal. If you wish to use that address please hit up  @Marko and he will configure it for you.  
 The Primal web app has just been updated. Here’s what we have for you: 

- Improved performance 
- New note reactions dialog 
- Automatic redirect from the new landing page

Try it out and let us know how we can further improve. 🫡 
 🙌 
 Did you try reordering your feeds in the settings? Whichever feed you place at the top should load automatically when you start the app. Let me know if that is not the case.  
 I appreciate Primal's UX on mobile but this really goes against our values.

 I hear you @verbiricha and @franzap. I really do. But what is your suggestion for onboarding newbies onto nostr so they can participate in zapping? How specifically do you think it should be done? Genuine question.

 Thanks  @jack. 

We still need a much nicer onboarding UX, as well as experiences that are familiar to mainstream users. Working on it! 🫡

When all this is combined with the magic of zaps and the nostr app ecosystem, we will eventually onboard everyone.

 Novak is not only the tennis 🐐, but also a freedom advocate who was willing to sacrifice his career to stand up for what is right. 

We have a lot to learn from him. Hope to see him on nostr soon.

 Happy Birthday  @primal! 🎂 

We launched Primal one year ago today, after about 1.5 months of coding. Check out my elaborate announcement below. 

Its' been a crazy year; so much has happened. Both Nostr and Primal have a lot of momentum now. Next year is going to be insane.  We are super-grateful to be on this journey with all of you. 💜

 Thank you and likewise sir! 

I was actually using  @Listr this morning and was blown away by how much better it got. That seems to be an ongoing theme with so many projects. People have no idea how much better nostr is going to get. 🚀  
 🍻  
 Thanks Marce. You do the same! 💪  
 Yes, looking into it! 
 No it’s just that everyone is using primal and their zaps are broken.

 We just rolled out a fix for this; hopefully it will do the trick.
