Client Call

1. Ben (benulo (a) systemli.org)

One thing I like to do is build and test Gemini clients on my Linux 
system. It's interesting for me to follow their development, and this is 
currently what I track and build:

Graphical: alrisha, castor, kristall, moonlander
Text: asuka diohsc

AV-98 of course is interpreted so I don't build it, but I do keep it up 
to date along with the rest. My system is currently unable to build 
projects written in Go, so unfortunately I have not been to test 
bombadillo though I have been wanting to. (I think there was one other 
client as well using Go.) The issue seems that I can't connect to Go's 
online repository, so it's an Internet/ISP problem that I'll have to 
figure out how to work around.

All of the clients are fantastic, but none of them are perfect yet! 
Except... elpher! When testing with my own Gemini pages, I find elpher 
renders them exactly how I want/expect. Generally graphical clients all 
have their own funny little quirks, though they are acceptable, while 
the text mode ones are all solid, so no complaints there.

If you have a client that I missed or don't know about I will be glad to 
add it to my system. I also haven't yet found an Android client I can 
use, though I ran across one in source form but can't/won't build things 
for Android so I'd go for a pre-built package.

Oh I remember looking it up but forgot to download and try it. This is 
great!

Hello Ben,

> (I think there was one other client as well using Go.)

Sounds like it might be mine! :)

https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora

I have compiled binaries for all my releases, hope that helps.
Also, if you're sure your Go issue is with accessing the Go/Google
servers, try this command:

GOPROXY=direct GOSUMDB=off GO111MODULE=on go get -u 
github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora

Those first two env variables turn off the default behaviour where
Google's proxy servers are accessed, and just download direct from
Github, etc. Let me know if that works!

Cheers,
makeworld

Oh yeah! I do have the binary installed, but I haven't updated it in a 
while. Very kickass client.

I will experiment with Go building a bit more. Also if their system 
supports socks5 I already have that set up on my system.

Thanks!
