I'm totally new to nostr and I'm curious to know the ecosystem, what do you guys use and why.
I currently find Primal the most functional, but I'm interested in exploring.
Beyond clients, I'd just like to know any other beginner advice you have, I'm interested to know what attracts you to this protocol as I'm trying to understand what's all the noise about it.
Thanks.
Primal as a daily driver on desktop because its fast and I like the way they display notifications.
Amethyst as a daily driver on mobile because its feature rich pretty fast, and I like the way they display notifications.

Honorable mentions to Yakihonne, Coracle, Damus, Highlighter, Nostrocket.

Nymble for IPhone, 0xChat for IPhone, Yakihonne for IPhone, Freerse for IPhone, Nostur For IPhone, Openvibe for IPhone, FreeFrom for IPhone and many more.
Primal for most interaction
Zap.stream for watching Stacker News Live
npub.pro for automatically creating a personal website based on my nostr posts
DAMUS MAXI HERE
But also use fountain and Wherostr which I think was developed in Thailand
I'm not used to thinking of Fountain as a nostr client.
Fountain for podcasts is the biggest no-brainer in the entire ecosystem.
But it is! A nostr-fide podcast application with zaps and boosts
Primal and amethyst.
Damus, Coracle, ditto.pub, Fountain
Thank you everyone for the replies! I discovered Amethyst and Fountain.fm from here and those will become apps I'll use regularly.
I use Amethyst on mobile, it has Tor only mode and private DMs. It's awesome, we need a desktop Nostr Tor browser.
I use amethyst, which has active development on github. It incorporates many features of the protocol, only available for Android
I just tried it, it's very neat, love it.
Mostly Nostrudel.ninja, the fastest and slickest / I wish it had a bit more intuitive and friendly interface.
Many times on Primal, but it often has problems with posting etc.
nozzle and nostros.
Damus and Primal.
Amethyst
Damus all the way
Excellent post, thank you very much. All those comments full of good information make this article a mini library about useful clients to learn how to use in Nostr. I'm glad I read it.
iOS Primal
I use fountain and Amethyst every day
Primal, occasionally Damus
Amethyst is good for Android, I also like Iris and Snort because they are available on mobile and Linux
