Tested it for a little bit and it seems really nice! The "user
experience" is definitely very close to what I imagined for Moonlander.
> The browser will have a different color for each domain you visit.
On dark GTK themes (specifically Arc-Dark in my case), the top UI color
on some pages look _very_ light and makes the important parts of the UI
hard to see?.
One suggestion would be to add a "dark mode" switch that tones down the
brightness of the generated colors. You might also want to add an option
to turn the coloring off entirely for people who want all their programs
to share the same look.

My slow internet will thank you for this one :)

Here's one: Some quote lines are not parsed correctly?.

Lastly, if you want more stuff to do: a way to configure how the pages
are rendered would be a nice addition. As currently the text is too
small, and the lines go for too long without wrapping. Being able to set
the maximum line width (bonus points for centering), and font
configuration (preferably different for each line type) would be pretty
neat. Color customization would be neat too, but that's not as
important as being able to read things.
I might take a shot at implementing the customization stuff, but don't
count on me :p

I'll add an option to disable colors for now, because that's easier to implement and it's needed anyway. After that, I'll look into dark themes/mode. > Here's one: Some quote lines are not parsed correctly?. > > [2]: https://ebc.li/oyew.png > The page in question: gemini://ebc.li/posts/alt-text- > proposal.gmi Sorry, I don't understand... what's the bug? I don't remove '>' from quotes, so those lines start with that char. Some quoted lines _dont't_ have '>', because they are not really new lines. When a line is longer than the screen, it gets wrapped by the program, but the program doesn't add '>'. I don't think that's a bug, but if that creates confusion, I'm happy to remove the first '>' char from quotes, so that every line is equal, even when wrapped. > Lastly, if you want more stuff to do [...] I'll add a configuration file to disable colors, change fonts, etc...

Ah wait, just checking again, the other pages that I thought rendered correctly just didn't have any quote lines. I don't think this is an issue, sorry! -- Have a nice (day|night|week(end)?) ~ Ecmel B. Canl?er ~
I've updated the program. Now you can change fonts and disable colors. Also, it now caches pages in the history.
