Re: "Cache for offline browsing"
Lagrange (and likely other browsers) already allow you to browse and view local .gmi files without needing a local server. in theory you just need a simple script that will crawl a gemfeed resource from any endpoints you've 'subscibed' to and structure the downloaded files sensibly.
I'd rather keep this a browser agnostic tool.

this is the tool:
offpunk is nice. But there are some site that also offers git access. as in, you git clone the site repo and read it locally. Other sites like spam.works hosts static historical content, this type of site might as well offer a tarball download.
Cache for offline browsing — I really enjoyed the concept of offpunk, a gemini/gopher/html/wikipedia/rss browser aimed at caching everything you searched. All the links would be subscription(ish) and you could visit what is new and download it locally to read offline. I see that LaGrange has a maximum of 9gig of cache memory. How does that cache work? Can I browse a site when I am offline and it will show the cache? I see the subscription also in here, and will that sync to the cache? I haven'...
