So, you saw this coming, right? The dreaded accessibility check!

The text of the page cannot be read by arrow keys. the keys move throughout the text, but Orca doesn't read it.* The "tab overview" button is unlabeled.* ... How do I get to the settings?

Other than that, I can access the back/forward/refresh buttons, and when new pages load, Ocra announces the title bar state change, which is really great.

Hello, citizens of the Gemini mailing list!

Back in May 19, I announced Moonlander here:

https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2020/000870.html

Unfortunately, that didn't last long. As quickly as it came, it went

away into the land of "broken, unmaintained pile of FOSS".

Today, I bring you, Moonlander! Well, a rewrite using the same name, but

hey, the only thing that matters is how fancy it looks, right?

Moonlander (then: "The fanciest Gemini client in the entire solar

system.", now: "Just another 'fancy' Gemini client") is a graphical

Gemini client, developed using Rust and GTK 3, to use under Linux.

(Nobody is stopping you from trying building on Windows. It'll probably

work if one cared enough to set everything up properly.)

Moonlander's main features (so far) include:

- GTK based GUI attempting to look native to GNOME-like desktops

- Fancy Gemtext rendering with an overcomplicated theming system

- Collapsing pre-formatted text into alt text

- Tabs

- URL bar search

- A bookmarks bar

And the broken or known missing stuff include:

- Inputs (1x codes) and client certificates (6x codes)

- A lot of other stuff. Check the README as it will be better updated than

this message.

If you think this deal is worth it, call now for a download of only $0.00
