[ANN] bollux, a bash gemini browser

Case Duckworth <acdw (a) acdw.net>

Well, it took me a little longer than a weekend but I got it done!

I'm proud to announce the release of *bollux*, a Gemini browser written
in bash:

https://git.sr.ht/~acdw/bollux
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/~acdw/bollux (just the README)

It requires stuff most Linux users should have, like gawk
(possibly could use awk), dd, a recent version of bash, etc.

As of this release, bollux can
- navigate to gemini urls
- display text/* documents, and prettify text/gemini ones
- download other mimetypes

I still want to implement history, bookmarks, and the other
ease-of-life improvements that make a browser worth using. But I also
really wanted to send a [ANN] email tonight, so here we are.

Let me know what you think!

Howdy,

I clone the repo but when I try to use it:

zaibatsu$ ./bollux                                                         

GO> gemini.circumlunar.space
bollux:	[] 
bollux:	
./bollux: line 38: exit: 100 Unknown response code: .: numeric argument required
zaibatsu$

Am I doing it wrong?

Cheers,
Solderpunk

I can confirm this, it seems like a known issue actually:

Hey geminauts,

I was able to fix bollux this evening with possibly the smallest diff
ever. I changed a '/' to ':'.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to test my software before I release it
from now on. So try it, let me know what you think!

(I wrote a post about it on my nilog as well:
