Well, it took me a little longer than a weekend but I got it done! I'm proud to announce the release of *bollux*, a Gemini browser written in bash: https://git.sr.ht/~acdw/bollux gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/~acdw/bollux (just the README) It requires stuff most Linux users should have, like gawk (possibly could use awk), dd, a recent version of bash, etc. As of this release, bollux can - navigate to gemini urls - display text/* documents, and prettify text/gemini ones - download other mimetypes I still want to implement history, bookmarks, and the other ease-of-life improvements that make a browser worth using. But I also really wanted to send a [ANN] email tonight, so here we are. Let me know what you think! -- Best, Case acdw.net | breadpunk.club he/him
Howdy, I clone the repo but when I try to use it: zaibatsu$ ./bollux GO> gemini.circumlunar.space bollux: [] bollux: ./bollux: line 38: exit: 100 Unknown response code: .: numeric argument required zaibatsu$ Am I doing it wrong?

Hey geminauts, I was able to fix bollux this evening with possibly the smallest diff ever. I changed a '/' to ':'. Anyway, I'm definitely going to test my software before I release it from now on. So try it, let me know what you think! (I wrote a post about it on my nilog as well: => gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/users/acdw/2020-05-22.gmi -- acdw On Tue, May 26, 2020, at 3:18 AM, Case Duckworth wrote: > Well, it took me a little longer than a weekend but I got it done! > > I'm proud to announce the release of *bollux*, a Gemini browser written > in bash: > > https://git.sr.ht/~acdw/bollux > gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/~acdw/bollux (just the README) > > It requires stuff most Linux users should have, like gawk > (possibly could use awk), dd, a recent version of bash, etc. > > As of this release, bollux can > - navigate to gemini urls > - display text/* documents, and prettify text/gemini ones > - download other mimetypes > > I still want to implement history, bookmarks, and the other > ease-of-life improvements that make a browser worth using.
