[ANN] Kristall Small-Internet Browser

1. Felix QueiรŸner (felix (a) masterq32.de)

Hello Community!

In the last week, i hacked together a new Gemini client:

  Kristall

It started as a pure Gemini + text/gemini client, but i soon started to
implement more features and now it supports more than initially planned.

Some features:


simplified HTML

multiple tabs, ...)

My focus for this project was user experience and following the basic
gemini ideas (user first, server second). So the client provides you
with with a lot of convenience features like site styling (even
experimental auto-theming based on the domain name), a favourite list,
browsing history, ...)

Notable missing features right now are:


Read a bit more about Kristall here:
=> gemini://random-projects.net/blog/2020-06-07-kristall.gemini

And fetch the source code and build it here (also Screenshots!)
=> https://github.com/MasterQ32/kristall

I would be happy about bug reports or improvement ideas, here on the
mailing list, IRC or GitHub!

I really like auto-theming based on domain. Would you be ok if I used the
same algorithm in my iOS client? https://github.com/pitr/gemini-ios

Thanks!

No, absolutly not! *laughing* /s

Yes, please do! It works surprisingly well, but will probably be
improved in the future with some sanity and contrast checks, so check it
out now and then!

Hello Community (again)!

3 days ago i published Kristall in an early version. Since then, a lot
happened. I added a huge bunch of features[0], with a focus on more
protocols (+finger, +gopher), more usability (+theme presets, a lot of
minor tweaks) and support for more media types (+video, +image, +audio).

As always: Enjoy!

PS.: @solderpunk, you can probably add Kristall to two of your lists:
Gemini and Gopher clients

Hey!

Two weeks ago was the last release of Kristall, and now the next release
is finished:

Kristall 0.3

Major new features:


In general, the 0.3 release is focused on security while surfing and
enables you to take control of Kristalls behaviour.

You can fetch the source release at GitHub [0].

As usual, i'm happy about feedback and patches!

Congratulations! I've been tracking Kristall on git and the rate of its 
development is very impressive. It's also one of my favorite clients so far.
