“Always two there are...” – Yoda
I’ve been using the *Gopher* app on my iOS devices for a while, now, as well as VF-1 on the command line. For Emacs, I was using gopher.el. But yesterday, @gcupc mentioned a second Gopher client for Emacs: Elpher. Indeed, there are at least two implementations of everything in Emacs! 😓
The number one thing I’ve thought when I gave *Elpher* a try was: there’s no browsing history! There’s no way to say “back”, or “next” (if reading a text file in a menu). When I read the History and Caching entry on GitHub, however, it seems that the `up` command does what I’d think a `back` command would do.
And something else I’ve noticed: there’s no TLS support. gophers://alexschroeder.ch:7443 can’t be accessed. I’ve added that to *gopher.el*, I might as well try and add it to *Elpher*, I guess?

UTF-8 works. 👍
