Today's Port of the Week is about Lagrange, a gemini web browser.

Information about the Gemini protocol

Curated list of Gemini clients

Lagrange is the finest browser I ever used and it's still brand new. I imported it into OpenBSD and so it will be available starting from OpenBSD 6.9 releases.

Screenshot of the web browser in action with dark mode, it supports left and right side panels.

Lagrange is fantastic in the way it helps the user with the content browsed.

Links already visited display the last visited date
Subscription on page without RSS is possible for pages respecting a specific format (most of gemini space does)
Easy management of client certificates, used for authentication
In-page image loading, video watching and sound playing
Gopher support
Table of content displayed generated from headings
Keyboard navigation
Very light (dependencies, memory footprint, cpu usage)
Smooth scrolling
Dark and light modes
Much more

If you are interested into Gemini, I highly recommend this piece of software as a browser.

In case you would like to host your own Gemini content without requiring infrastructure, some community servers are offering hosting through secure sftp transfers.

Un bon café !

Once you get into Gemini space, I recommend the following resources:

CAPCOM feed agregator, a great place to meet new authors

GUS: a search engine
