I tried #primal out for the first time earlier with a new account. I didn’t spend long using it before coming back to Damus.
The UI is nice and the onboarding of a new account was slick but the KYC wallet put me off, I know I can just edit the profile and add lightning address to receive zaps outside the app but the wallet appears to be a prominent feature of Primal with it being the middle tab and emphasised yet I didn’t want to activate it with my personal details. It looks like you can already send/receive without activating the wallet too so what’s the purpose of activation?
This experiment made me realise I don’t want my nostr clients and lightning wallet to be a single app, I understand not everyone wants and thinks like I do but the attraction of nostr to me is the ability to switch clients at any point and take my content with me so a separate wallet makes much more sense.
