Hi all,
What an amazing and inspiring community I've stumbled upon.
I've long been lamenting the idea that a web browser now takes somewhere around a billion dollarsto build. So when I came across gemini I had to try out it's promise of being able to build aclient with low effort.
So I picked up flutter and the protocol spec and made a gemini browser; deedum. This is really coolto me cause I probably spent less than 16hours on it, mostly fighting fixed width font rendering influtter and it's also my first real app.
It's awaiting review in the android playstore, and I'll be trying to get it building for iOS andinto the app store. I'll also look into what it takes to get on fdroid.
Here's the repo
https://github.com/snoe/deedum
If anyone wants to jump in you are more than welcome!
A couple things I ran into:
It's missing client certs, its not clear to me if they actually should be transient or just fullyuser managed. They have cool potential though!
Some sites don't seem to close the socket after sending a response, this could be me doingsomething wrong but gemini://mozz.us:1965/journal/ is one example of such a site.
`ncat --ssl -c "cat test.gmi" ...` is great for testing, and also proves what a great idea geminiis.
Thanks!Case
