astro @ gmn.clttr.info

'astro' is a gemini client for your terminal. It only requires a POSIX shell, coreutils and OpenSSL.

astro strongly relies on the power of the (POSIX) shell and coreutils like 'less', 'sed' and the like. For TLS encrypted communication OpenSSL is used.

It has been created by B.L. Mayer

My fork's only addition is link numbering on page rendering.
