There is not much to see at the moment, but I'm working on it. I've also implemented rudimentary gemini support in my gopher client ncgopher [2].There are still a lot of rough edges, especially some keyboard commands that onlywork on gophermaps and not on gemini, but it's getting better every day. I prettymuch use ncgopher as my primary gemini client and fix what comes along. One of the issues that has come up with other clients is that they blockon binary downloads. ncgopher downloads files in background, indicatingthe number of bytes read (a bit like lynx). This way, you can continue browsingwhile downloading your favourite konpeito mix. ncgopher is written in Rust, which some people hate and others love. I startedto implement this client to teach myself rust, so it's far from perfect. However, the client is known to compile on FreeBSD (my primary system), OpenBSD,Linux (tested on Debian and Arch), and OS X. Maybe Windows works as well. More features will be coming available in the next weeks. Feel free to createan issue on [2], if you encounter any bugs. - Jan [1] gemini://jan.bio[2] https://github.com/jansc/ncgopher -- Fry: Where's Captain Bender? Off catastrophizing some other planet?
