Ten31 invested in primal over a year ago, and primal (iOS) is consistently the slowest/just doesn’t work nostr social client I’ve used.
As a regularly shared/newbie go-to client, I’m curious how many it’s turned away just by not working. Not being able to cover the basics in over a year seems unacceptable, especially for a client taking in so much funding. I’m sure I’ll get hate on this, but whatever. Nostr is really fucking important (imo). Where are the standards for funding in this space?
What’s going on?

It’s because they are using a radically different model than other clients. It does not connect to multiple relays, it connects to their one custom caching server which isn’t a nostr relay. So if it goes down the whole app goes down. Brittle and takes away user agency on what relays the user can connect to.
Hopefully primal 2.0 switches to a model which is less brittle and more like a normal nostr client.
