Got in to work today, and Firefox Developer Edition updated itself, and I have to say, it's kind of gorgeous. Mozilla may have fired their browser engine developers, but they've sure kept their designers. Wonāt see what it looks like on Linux for a while, because Iām running my distributionās Firefox
Our father who art in heaven ... I sincerely pray that SOMEBODY at this table will PAY for my SHREDDED WHAT and ENGLISH MUFFIN ... and also leave a GENEROUS TIP ....
Got this as my fortune.
Last night, I dreamed that the venerable Lynx browser had released an update that included Gemini support. Lynx is already known for its good Gopher support, and it already includes TLS support for HTTPS, so I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to add Gemini support.
I actually have contributions in upstream Lynx, but they're all conditional compilation and workarounds for OS/2 support, added in 1996 or 1997?
I decided Iād install comitium, *at least* until I actually write my own feed reader. I like it a lot. I like the output, I like that it unifies atom feeds and gemfeeds, and watches sites without feeds. So far, Iāve added all the atom feeds I was already following (using a local CAPCOM instance), plus all the feeds known to CAPCOM (not just the ones itās currently aggregating). Then I need to add the pages without feeds, and the pages with gemfeeds, and all the gopher holes I used to follow via Moku Pona before reading gopher fell out of my daily routineā¦
Iām enclosing a link to the feed, but please donāt abuse it. Your best bet, if you have your own Gemini site, is to install comitium, and copy the feed list from my site and/or the upstream site.

I wrote a Common Lisp Gemini client library largely because I wanted to write a feed aggregator that scratched my particular itch that neither CAPCOM nor Gemisub scratched. But Iām pretty busy with side projects right now, so Iām not getting it done quickly. Meanwhile, it looks like ācomitiumā meets my most important needs. Maybe I should just use it?
