Another frustration

I’m not sure why nostr clients on iOS behave like this but they all fail before you even begin.
Learning about nostr you are taught that your nsec is to be coveted and protected at all costs. It is your literal digital self. And you NEVER paste it into a client. And the same people that teach that then produce apps that require raw nsec pasting.
This client like many others will NOT accept a signer or even a bunker for log in. Avoid until it does

The best social, the easy way

Primal is my daily driver social media for the past year. There are no ads, no censorship, and no algos. Nostr is a new social network and primal is client. Primal works with all the nostr systems out of the box. Enjoy the freedom.

Only social media for me

Such a great app to connect with fellow humans, with the added bonus of an in-built lightning wallet for Zapping!!!

Good app

Yall can be a peak app if yall added some new features and make the feed like twitter and post and add story and reels like ig like combine both of them and the app run so slow fix it if yall want people to know yall app make sure it run smoothly

Thank you Primal!

It’s always a good experience when using your solution in the tangled mess of a decentralized protocol. It’s a hard challenge and task but someone has to do it for the avg user. Keep building!
