Hello all,
This is my first post to the mailing list, so greetings everyone! I've
been following Gemini for a couple of months now and really like the
thinking behind it. The community has done lots of impressive work on an
elegant, small foundation.
I would like to introduce you to a new desktop GUI client I've been
writing. It is called "Lagrange", and me being a visual/gamedev kind of
guy one of the main goals is to make it an aesthetically pleasing app. At
the moment, I have binaries available for Windows and macOS, and a source
tarball for compiling on Linux.
Short description and build instructions:
gemini://skyjake.fi/lagrange/
Source code and releases:
https://git.skyjake.fi/skyjake/lagrange
In the spirit of Gemini, the guiding principle has been to trim things
down to the bare bones. To keep the app as portable and small as possible,
it's written in C and doesn't depend on existing UI frameworks. Instead,
SDL2 is used for low-level graphics/input and the rest is built on top of
that. TLS is provided by OpenSSL.
Feature highlights:
Hi Jaakko Very nice work - well done! I just took it for a spin on Win10. You might want to create an installer at some point, my anti virus seemed to look on it suspiciously and I had to retrieve it from quarantine. A v minor comment - when using a http proxy, it seems to need the IP address (e.g. on local machine needs "127.0.0.1:port" using "localhost:port" didn't work for me).

Hi jaakko, It is a beautiful client - congratulations! I especially like how you use a different colour scheme for each domain, and make it clear in the links where you?re going. The only issue I had was it hangs when I try to navigate to gus.guru (I?m on a Mac, if that helps).

Jaakko, This is absolutely gorgeous. I had no trouble building it on Ubuntu Focal Fossa after installing prerequisites (add Cmake to that list.) I've enclosed a screenshot. I could not reproduce Peter's error when going to gus.guru. -- Emma On Sun, Sep 13, 2020, at 15:58, Peter Deal wrote: > Hi jaakko, > > It is a beautiful client - congratulations!

It might be worth mentioning that a similar issue came up with a different client, which turned out related to not handling relative URLs in redirects, as I recall.

This is really nicely done, looks and feels fantastic. A couple of points: For some reason, the opengl renderer was really messing up my display (needed to switch to console and back to recover, even after quitting lagrange). Recompiled with the software renderer, and it works beautifully. I was running a Debian guest on a Windows 7 VirtualBox host. The auto-enlarging of the first paragraph, while it looks nice, is jarring with the reading of my docs. The block-quotes text doesn't really stand out as a block quote to my eyes. Please disregard my previous comment on GUS and redirects, it also works fine for me. Regardless, lovely work. Thanks!

Hello,
The screenshots I've seen look great! I'm was excited to try this client,
but instead I got a segfault staring back at me. Can you help me debug
this?
I'm on Arch Linux, and I'm pretty sure I have all the right libs installed.

I downloaded the specific .tar.gz from your releases that includes theFoundation.
Any idea what the issue is?

Unfortunately i haven't been able to build it on Void Linux, due
to a problem when trying to build the_Foundation:

Yeah, I suppose OpenGL issues can be rather common, especially under VMs. I will add an option to force software rendering in a future build. (See below how to do it manually.) I have been considering adding a user preference for the enlarged first paragraph, along with other page style customization settings. Could you point me to / share an example page where it looks jarring? Perhaps I can still tweak things a little to detect when not to apply the effect. Also curious about the block quote appearance, what would you consider a more distinctive appearance? > On 14.

Hmm, at least it found the resources file, so that's good. My first guess is always that there is some problem with OpenGL. I'll add the software rendering option, but maybe in the meantime you could try going to src/ui/window.c:480 and uncomment "#define ENABLE_SWRENDER".

This might not be an "older OpenSSL release" issue, but a LibreSSL issue: Void, OpenBSD, Dragonfly BSD and Hyperbola all use the LibreSSL fork of OpenSSL as their default TLS provider. i have no idea whether this function is deliberately omitted, or whether its absence is more due to a lack of resources.

There were others.

I'm a bit colour blind, and it's hard for me to tell. Traditional vertical bars or italics tend to stand out for me, subtle colour differences (that most people see clearly) tend not to.

Yeah there is surely no way to make this perfect in all cases without the author actually having a way to mark up a lead paragraph. In gemtext there is no such markup, and I don't think there should be. My goal is to make it work in most cases, so it 1) encourages/rewards the practice of having a brief and informative lead that stands out, while 2) being subtle enough not to be weird in other cases. Very long paragraphs, for example, can be detected and the effect could be disabled there. The plan is to make this customizable in future builds. > Looking again, is the font colour different for block-quotes? I'm a bit colour blind, and it's hard for me to tell. Traditional vertical bars or italics tend to stand out for me, subtle colour differences (that most people see clearly) tend not to. The quotes use a different color and a thinner italic font. They also have their own indentation level. But yes, the vertical bar is pretty commonly used for quotes, having that as an option would be nice. Thanks for the feedback. :) --jaakko

Once you have the Debug build, start gdb like this:

bt
To print a backtrace. That'll show where the crash occurred.
However, I've already fixed one issue that could cause a crash at startup.
It's currently in the "dev" branch, so you could alternatively do a git
clone in an empty directory and try building that:

Thanks for adding the libraries as submodules, it's very helpful. The client is beautiful, excellent work. Being able to see the domain when hovering over links is a nice touch, and I was impressed by the full-text search of pages I've already visited when I start typing in the address bar. The green padlock info is also nice. Also, it seems you've added client certs just since you sent your first email? It would be nice if I could import them though. makeworld

Importing existing certificates is already possible, although there is no UI for it yet and there are some requirements for the files. I added this to the Help page: ``` ### Importing existing certificates At launch, Lagrange looks through its "idents" directory to see if any new certificates have been copied there. (See "Runtime files" below for the location.) The file format must be PEM. Both a certificate (.crt) and its private key (.key) must be found in "idents" and they must have matching file names. For example:
Hello all, Here's a brief update on what's been happening with Lagrange since the initial v0.1 release. I've just released v0.4 today with preliminary audio playback support. You can now listen to Ogg Vorbis and WAV files using an inline audio player. It works the same way as the image viewer. => https://skyjake.fi/@jk/105010413773282229 Screenshot of audio player UI I call this preliminary because it still lacks basic features like volume control and seeking. The plan is to add more audio codecs as well, although that will require adding new (optional) dependencies to the build. The other notable change in v0.4 is support for Windows HiDPI displays, including respecting the Windows UI scaling factor. In the earlier builds v0.2 and v0.3, the new features were:

I just wanted to say that I tried this client for the first time today on a Mac, and it is indeed classically beautiful: ????? ???? (nothing in excess) as Apollo said at Delphi. I found everything I needed or wanted and nothing I didn't, or more accurately nothing that I couldn't see someone else who is aligned with the spirit of Gemini wanting, like dark mode. Nevertheless, as a visually impaired person (not so much so that I need a screen reader, however), I would ask for two things: 1) A mode in which the background is white (which you already have) and all colors except in icons are mapped to black. Even though your colors are subtle, black print on white paper, as God and Gutenburg intended, is the most readable. In particular, grayscale text blends into the background, and using less saturated colors in subheadings combined with smaller font sizes, makes them hard, harder, hardest to interpret. (Colors in icons are fine: I don't have to read them, just look at them.) 2) A nice serif font. Characters with serifs are much easier to recognize because the letters look more different. The worst case for sans-serif fonts is l (lower case L) and I (uppercase I). Here they are together: IlIIl. That looks in a sans-serif font like five tally marks, but in fact it is I-L-I-I-L with lower case L, as a serif font will show. There is nothing inherently old-fashioned about serif fonts: Georgia (which is web-safe) is a good candidate for lightweight minimalism, and so are any of those shown at < https://www.dtelepathy.com/blog/design/21-stunning-serif-fonts-websites>. Whatever floats your boat, but with serifs! Without these things I have to magnify the text even more than I normally do (150%) and get less and less content per screen. This is a matter of pure practicality: I'm not asking for the ability to render pages in Comic Sans <http://www.identifont.com/find?font=comic+sans&q=Go> or in STOP < http://www.identifont.com/show?374>, a font which combines the virtues of ugliness with those of illegibility. A very minor third point: 3) It would be nice if, after opening a new tab, the cursor was in the address bar. This is convenient: Cmd-T immediately followed by typing the URL, without having to mouse about.

It works the same way as the image viewer. First and by far the most important, I'd like to echo John Cowan's effusive praise. Lagrange is nothing short of insanely great. I noticed a couple odd things, though: First, in the category of "I don't know if it's wrong, but it _is_ different and I'm not sure I like it": I went to <gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/users/> and multiple spaces in link text are being collapsed into one space. In the source, the link lines look like: => / .. => 0xgem/ 0xgem/ Jul 7 2020 => acdw/ acdw/ Jul 25 2020 => adiabatic/ adiabatic/ Oct 6 2020 => alchemist/ alchemist/ Jun 21 2020 => b/ b/ Oct 6 2020 => bentsai/ bentsai/ Jul 7 2020 => chance/ chance/ Sep 6 2020 In amfora, a command-line TUI client, the dates are right-aligned if you've got a wide-enough terminal, but in Lagrange, multiple spaces are collapsed into one and each line is kind of hard to read because of the raggedyness of it all. For the second, I noticed that the ASCII art at "midnight.pub" didn't look right compared to amfora. I wanted to check the source text at <gemini://tilde.team/~m15o/> to see what was going on, but when I hit ?S, I got: ``` ERROR SAVING PAGE Read-only file system [Continue] ``` I wasn't expecting this error message at all, considering it's (1) only my ~/Downloads and (2) <gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/users/> downloads just fine to it from Lagrange and (3) amfora saves "~m15o.gmi" just fine there when I hit C-s in it. ?and hm. The ASCII art there isn't backticked. I should go pester the author to wrap it all in ```Midnight ? ``` . ? Nathan

I recognize that in gemtext one cannot use spaces like this for alignment, while also permitting variable-width fonts and whitespace normalization. Nevertheless, I was curious about the idea of normalizing multiple spaces differently. A simple rule of 8+ spaces becoming a tab character produced nice results: => http://media.skyjake.fi/normalized_to_tabs.png It was also quite simple to implement (of course, Lagrange uses a custom text renderer so stuff like this is possible without extra effort): => https://git.skyjake.fi/skyjake/lagrange/commit/4a3cda29bbf2494061fb10906 98cf1230e43a280 I'm not advocating for this to be standard practice in clients, but I'll keep it at least for the time being in Lagrange and see if it produces adverse effects elsewhere. --jaakko

Another possibility would be to render a link name that contains more than 2 consecutive spaces in a monowidth font, the same one used for ``` mode. That would be very clean, I think.

Let me add my voice to the chorus of praise - this is hands-down the best Gemini client I've seen yet. It makes me actively seek out more Gemini content just so I can enjoy it. My one request/wishlist item is for further configurable keybindings. In my particular case, I like to use vim-like motions (j/k for scrolling, / for search, etc) everywhere possible. I've modified the source code directly to add those, and it works great for me, but it will probably get annoying maintaining those patches as new versions come up. (And I don't think you'll want my patches upstream, since not everyone wants the exact keybindings I happen to have chosen for myself...) Thank you so much, again, for this amazing contribution to the community! -- Adrian

I'm currently putting together v0.6 where I'm focusing on adding new color themes and some bug fixes, but after that configurable bindings could be a nice next thing to work on. --jaakko https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/

Hi! I'm a huge fan of Lagrange, it's so far my favorite desktop Gemini browser, it's just so visually perfect and has the right amount of features! It's been working perfectly fine on macOS, I'm following the latest updates. However, in Manjaro ARM (Pinebook Pro), sites like gemini://circumlunar.space/ and gemini://gus.guru/ for some reason don't seem to load at all. Maybe it has something to do with TLS, I'm not sure how to debug, but I'd like to help. Here are the commands I used to build version 0.5.0: cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr cmake --build . --target install Anyway, thanks for creating Lagrange, it's all I was expecting to find in a Gemini browser, it gives such Aesthetics to the Gemini experience! And the best part: it's free of Web components! Written in C with beautiful SDL graphics, something rare in 2020. I hope to see more improvements, without adding bloat and keeping the minimalist and modern look and feel!

Hmm, if it isn't getting any response that could indicate a network connectivity issue. Unfortunately this is not my greatest area of expertise, but one possible reason might be some IPv4/IPv6 glitch? I've done very little testing with IPv6 so far.

It is working for me (gemini://gus.guru/) in both Lagrange 0.5.0 and 0.6.0. Running Gentoo amd64 with the following library versions: - openssl-1.1.1g - libpcre-8.44 - libunistring-0.9.10 - cmake-3.17.4 - libsdl2-2.0.12 - zlib-1.2.11 - mpg123-1.25.13 Btw, just started exploring Gemini and I found Lagrange to be a quite nice client, thanks skyjake!

Which version of OpenSSL is being used on the Pinebook?
So far I haven't had any luck reproducing this issue nor do I have a
clearer picture of why it might be failing, but here's something we can
try. On the Pinebook, run this openssl command and let's compare the output:
openssl s_client -connect gus.guru:1965 -debug -tlsextdebug
Output from OpenSSL 1.1.1h on a Mac:

At least we've verified that the behavior is indeed identical and we are using the same version of OpenSSL. I've made some small tweaks to my TLS code. If you have a chance, could you try it with this commit: https://git.skyjake.fi/skyjake/lagrange/commit/f83ef8bfbaa5558aca5759c92c481642ac312000 > The OpenSSL command took a lot of time to finish and print the output. Perhaps Lagrange thinks the connection has timed out? If you run it with the "--echo" option, is there a "document.request.timeout" logged when trying to open gus.guru? --jaakko

If you run it with the "--echo" option, is there a "document.request.timeout" logged when trying to open gus.guru? I tried with that commit, and with --echo option. Both gus.guru and gemini.circumlunar.space get stuck in that command: [command] document.request.started doc:0xaaaadb096170 url:gemini://gus.guru [command] document.request.started doc:0xaaaadb16b930 url:gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/ The program is still running, but it doesn't echo anything else related to the requests. The request only starts but never updates or finishes. For example, this is what my gemsite shows: [command] open url:gemini://avalos.me [command] document.request.started doc:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 url:gemini://avalos.me [command] document.request.updated doc:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 request:0xaaaadb1577d0 ptr:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 [command] document.request.finished doc:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 request:0xaaaadb1577d0 ptr:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 [command] open redirect:1 url:gemini://avalos.me/ [command] document.request.started doc:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 url:gemini://avalos.me/ [command] document.request.updated doc:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 request:0xaaaadb1577d0 ptr:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 [command] document.request.finished doc:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 request:0xaaaadb1577d0 ptr:0xaaaadb1aa0d0 [command] document.changed url:gemini://avalos.me/
