Hi Folks,

I'm new to this list, to Racket, and to Gemini, but I am quite happy to behere because I have an interesting project to share. I have built a simpleGraphical Gemini client using Racket, it should run in any platform Racketruns (I have tested it on Windows, macOS and Linux).

The most interesting parts of it are the fact that it supports tabs, whichis a feature I don't think is yet common among the clients, and that itconverts gemtext into a cute s-expression based representation.

At the moment it doesn't pass all the 51 tests in the client torture listbut IIRC it passes more than 40 of them. Anyway, I need to fix redirectonloops and I can't support some of the TLS stuff because Racket is shippingTLS 1.2.

So far I have written two blog posts about it:
