Hey all!

I was working on this for the last weekend or so, and I believe it'snow ready enough to share.

Announcing: Moonlander[1], the fanciest graphical Gemini client in theentire solar system [citation needed].

Please note that it's still under development, and there are a lot ofknown bugs. Still, why not take it for a spin?

The rest of this mail will be an excerpt from the readme file:----

Features

- Custom, themeable rendering engine via Cairo & Pango- Tries to follow Gnome HIG

Known Bugs

- TLS Certificates aren't verified- Somewhat high resource usage (for a Gemini client)- No cross-protocol linking (yet)- Cannot navigate backwards through redirections- Renderer doesn't behave "native" - Cannot select/copy text - No interaction other than mouse clicks on links and scrolling

Planned Features

- Tabs- Render more than just text/gemini and plaintext. - Planned: Markdown & images

- Possibly support other protocols - Gopher, etc. - Definitely not HTTP, unless excluding HTML

- Syntax highlighting (?) - Waiting on text/gemini preformatting annotations to be somewhat standardized
