Wow, that screenshot is looking good! I'm excited for the plannedmarkdown and image rendering. Feel free to send an update to usas more features are added. Also come join us on IRC: #gemini attilde.chat (irc.tilde.chat is the actual server).

I will compile and try it out!

Hey all!

I was working on this for the last weekend or so, and I believe it's

now ready enough to share.

Announcing: Moonlander[1], the fanciest graphical Gemini client in the

entire solar system [citation needed].

[1]: https://sr.ht/~admicos/moonlander

A screenshot: https://files.ecmelberk.com/img/1589891854.png

Please note that it's still under development, and there are a lot of

known 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
