[ANN] Twinq, a graphical gemini browser

Ben Bader <ben (a) bendb.com>

Hi folks,

I'm happy to announce Twinq, a new, graphical, Gemini browser:

=> https://git.sr.ht/~bendb/twinq

It requires Qt6, cmake, and a modern c++ compiler, but no other
dependencies.  It's easy on the eyes (the content, anyways), and the
browsing/TOFU/protocol experience is pretty stable.  We don't yet have
features like bookmarks, home pages, etc - will get to those soon enough.

Eventually we'll have installers for precompiled binaries, but for now one
must build from sources.

The goals for Twinq are
- to be lightweight (well, as lightweight as any Qt app can be :) )
- to have a simple implementation
- to be portable

It's reasonably successful at these goals, save portability - I've only run
it on linux.  Who knows what's in store on other platforms!  I'm hopeful to
hear from one of you on that front.

Cheers,
Ben

I am a Linux user (Manjaro). After installing qt6 (several hundred 
megs), it built very easily.

I like the TOFU popup. And it built very fast. Overall, nice work. Good 
to see a qt6 project.
