Right! one issue with bombadillo, one with the "issues" page.

Bombadillo: I really like the look and feel of the browser, and accessing a few sites (especially gemini.circumlunar.space) is very quick. But most other gopher and gemini sites (eg: bombadillo.colorfield.space) seem to be unreachable. I get a TCP time-out after 5 seconds. This is tough, since my "broadband" connection is pretty slow.

"Issues": you may have answered this already. Submitting an issue requires registering. Registering requires three fields: a user name, an email address, and a password. But when I give an email address, the page tells me that I cannot use an email address (required field). Odd.

Thanks very much for your help.

If the author/maintainer of the (mostly excellent) bombadillo browser
sees this, please email back to me. I want to pass on an issue, and have
been stymied by your "issues" page.
Thanks.

You'll need a tildegit account. Feel free to email me the issue and I'll file it for you though.
