I enjoyed using two graphical Gemini clients: Kristall and Lagrange. But none of them ticks all boxes of how I'd like _a perfect_ Gemini client to look: (1 vote)

I spent some time investigating Tkinter package for Python and features of its TextWidget, but then realized that most of effort will go into recreating a "browser-like" behavior (tabs, find-in-page, cache, history search), and decided to implement it in Javascript/HTML instead, and use the actual browser for tabs, find-in-page, etc. (1 vote)

Hence, it's not an actual "client" binary application which you install on your Android/iPhone/Linux/Mac/Windows, but a gemini webproxy. Unlike other proxies, it relies more heavily on frontend Javascript side, where backend performs only basic translation of HTTP requests to gemini/gopher/spartan/titan ones. Saying that, it doesn't use any fancy Javascript libraries like React, Redux, Vue, jQuery, or what's the trendy one is today - primarily due to my lack of knowledge, secondary due to me being member of 512kb.club (the frontend is under 50Kb, but I'm not aware of such club).

Privacy note: voting saves your IP address. Voting for the second time overwrites your previous vote. Voting through _other_ web proxies hides your IP address and counts against that proxy IP address (so there's approximately one vote shared among all users of that proxy). Voting through _my_ web proxy preserves your original IP address (the vote is only yours, your IP is saved with it). (1 vote)
