Hi dear Geminauts,
It's my first message on this mailing list so let me introduce myself. My name is Romain de Laage, I'm a young french student in Computer Sciences (excuse my english ;) ). I'm a free software, Linux, Raspberry Pi and Gnome lover. I discovered Gemini in December 2020. I think this protocol could be a solution to some of the HTTP problems so I'm very interesting in it.
I used to use Amfora as a Gemini Browser but it is not the most wonderful client to promote Gemini to no nerds people. Lagrange is a very awesome client but it is not well integrated in Gnome environment so I decided to try writing my own Gemini parser and viewer for gnome. Say welcome to Scorpius.
For the moment Scorpius can only take a file as argument or open a default file, parse and display it. It can't make a gemini request but all the text/gemini specification is implemented (I hope).
I will try to work more on this software, and maybe create another Gemini browser. You can find it here: https://git.rdelaage.ovh/rdelaage/scorpius.
I'm not a Gtk professional nor a Gemini professional but your comments are welcomed.
