I have a Love/Hate relationship with #amethyst arguably the De-facto #android Nostr client. But on my low-end #xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (2018, #lineage 20) the new #primal #fdroid releases have been a god-send. The note rendering still needs work, but the responsiveness is (almost) on #damus level (yes, I have an #iphone to test)

Congrats #primal team!

Here comes Primal for Android, build 0.96.10:

- Smooth onboarding
- Profile screen facelift
- Pull to refresh: feeds, profile, threads
- Various fixes and improvements

Yes, that’s two releases today, for those of you counting. 🫡

As always, let us know if you run into issues, as well as what you would like to see in the next release.

Enjoy! 🤙💜

I'm typing this on a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (2018) using #amethyst here in the global south. When scrolling my feed long enough the lag is so bad that I always have to switch to a lesser client. Do developers target the Pixel 8 Pro nowadays?

It's been barely a month since I called for the un-installing of all other #android clients given #amethyst sheer release output, but the truth is, innovation in the #nostr space is too big for just one app.

This time going non-native on the #nostr apps might be the way to keep up with said innovation. Mind you, these are the web versions of them all, but that means updates may come even faster #nostrudel

So if you're not using Spring.site to tap into that pool of innovation effortlessly you are missing out.
