[ANN] Moonlander: The fanciest Gemini client in the entiresolar system

1. peteyboy (a) sdf.org (peteyboy (a) sdf.org)

Cool! I just got Castor and mcross installed last night, but neither works 
with alternate ports (not 1965) which I've had to host my jetforce server 
on. So im stuck playing with authoring using V-98to view. So if you could 
make sure gemini://url:port works, I'd love it.

It *should* work. If you have an example server with a different port,
please let me know and I'll try to make it work if it doesn't.

Oh, at least for awhile, I've left my server running in a tmux session, 
accessible via: gemini://peteyboy.freeshell.org:32056

If I keep that jetforce server running, I probably will need to put in a 
cron job with a dtach session or something.
