Gemini pager

I was thinking it would be nice to have an interactive terminal pager for gemtext, like more(1) or less(1) but with nice wrapping, support for navigating by section, and a way to run an external command on a link URI. But I have a feeling that something along these lines does already exist, and I'm just failing to relocate it. Do you know of anything like this? Would you have any use for it?

This sounded very familiar, and I found this:

โ€” GemView

However, I'm not sure if that's what I thought I remembered seeing.

I agree this kind of a pager would be a neat tool. You could even piece together a little terminal browser with it, if the external tool's output was openable as a new file to view.

@skyjake Thanks, gemview is interesting, though using urwid means it might be tricky to customise to my liking. That also isn't what I maybe remembered seeing though, I suspect there's another project we're forgetting...

Aha, I found the one I half-remembered!

โ€” gmir

It isn't exactly everything I wanted, but looks easily hackable into that.

gmir looks like a nice project.
