Hello Geminauts!

I found out about Gemini through the recent Hacker News post, and Icouldn't resist exploring and making something for it.

I'm using both Castor and Bombadillo for browsing Gemini, and neitherof them really did what I wanted in terms of downloading. There's noindication of progress, so it feels a bit like the client has frozenup, until I see the file saved, or some application open.

For that and other reasons, I decided to create a command linedownloader for Gemini, similar to wget but much simpler at the moment.It's available at https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/gemget/and is written in Go, with binaries available.

I'm somewhat new to Go and Gemini, so I'd appreciate any suggestionsor bug reports a lot.

Happy hacking!
