Minimum legal requirements for offering a custodial wallet service. Bummer, but at least we know we can do this sustainably. This is offered in partnership with Strike btw (they are the custodian).
Primal feature request time!
Let us know what you would like to see next in Primal. What’s missing? What’s busted? What irritates you? What are your hopes and dreams?
Tell us and we will make it so. 🫡
Thanks Derek!
To be clear, you are referring to the Android client, right? Does the new pull-to-refresh feature help?
I hear you regarding Nests integration. We'll chat more.
Outbox model update from Primal. This week we released updates to all of our clients (web, iOS, android), with the following capabilities:
1. Relay settings are based on NIP-65
2. Newly-onboarded users get randomly selected relays from the list of ~1,100 active relays (plus primal and purple pages relays). Existing users can test this capability by selecting “reset default relays” in network settings
3. All published content includes tags with the appropriate relay hints
4. When posting replies, we respect the relay hints on parent notes and post to those relays as well
This update ensures that Primal clients play nicely with outbox clients. The final step will be to implement reading content directly from relays, which will be used in conjunction with our caching service. That will take a bit more time, but we are marching ahead towards this ideal. 🫡

No. But you bring up a good point: all users of non-gossip clients won't see events from new primal users unless they add primal's relay.
Note that this was always the case with non-gossip clients: they require some relay overlap to see each other's events. We are just making this more obvious now by not onboarding everyone to the same 10 relays.
Primal iOS version 1.5.2 has been released. Here’s what we have for you:
- Public bookmarks
- Video downloads
- Search by note id
- Expanded note context menu
- Outbox model improvements (more on this in a separate note)
Just like our recent web and android updates, bookmarks are implemented based on NIP-51. These bookmarks are published to your relays, they persist between app installs, and can be used in with other nostr apps that support NIP-51 bookmarks. Also note that they are publicly visible to other nostr users. We are planning to add support for private bookmarks in the future.
Enjoy! 🤙💜

good news / bad news:
the good news: your published note lists images in the correct order. they show up correctly in primal web and android apps, as well as other nostr clients.
the bad news: our iOS app shows the image gallery in the reverse order. fixing now for the next release.
Primal for Android build 0.97.3 has been released. Here is what we have for you:
- Public Bookmarks
- Profile QR code screen facelift
- Outbox model improvements (more on this in a separate note)
Just like our web app update yesterday, bookmarks are implemented based on NIP-51. These bookmarks are published to your relays, they persist between app installs, and can be used in with other nostr apps that support NIP-51 bookmarks. Also note that they are publicly visible to other nostr users. We are planning to add support for private bookmarks in the future.
Enjoy! 🤙💜

Things are starting to come together. People have no idea how massively Nostr is going to win. Imagine dozens of highly polished clients, totally interoperable.
We'll keep building and shipping. Eventually it will be obvious to everyone.

Primal Web App build 0.104.0 has been released. Here’s what we have for you:
- Bookmarks
- Lightning invoices in feeds & DMs
- Outbox model improvements (more on this in a separate note)
This release supports public bookmarks only, per NIP-51. Therefore keep in mind that your bookmarks will be visible by other nostr users. We are planning to add support for private bookmarks in the future.
Enjoy! 🤙💜
Primal bookmarks are based on NIP-51. They are persisted on relays, so they will be preserved between app installs. Also, you'll be able to use them in other Nostr apps that support NIP-51 bookmarks.
I'll offer an optimistic take on both of your concerns:
1. I believe that most nostr clients will implement some form of outbox support. All Primal clients certainly will. We are literally a few days from releasing a major update. Once users’ notes are spread out over hundreds (eventually thousands) of relays, client devs will be incentivized to upgrade their clients accordingly. It will take a bit of time, but that’s okay.
2. Nostr being seeded with bitcoiners is a feature, not a bug. To bootstrap a truly decentralized network, we need the initial group of users who understand decentralization and are willing to fight for it. There is no other way imho. The short term price we are paying is that the content is bitcoin-centric, but that’s fine. That will get sorted out over time as the network grows.
IMO, we need to lower our time preference and be more patient. Everything is moving in the right direction.
We don’t need a successor protocol. Nostr is the one we’ve been looking for.
Have you guys tried @Listr lately?
It’s amazing! We recently worked on curating categorized follow lists for new users. We ended up creating a public set of lists for the Primal account, and we are planning to continue managing those lists there. Listr has such a nice UX for this. Great work @JeffG . 👏👏👏
