This is really nicely done, looks and feels fantastic. A couple of points:
For some reason, the opengl renderer was really messing up my display(needed to switch to console and back to recover, even after quittinglagrange). Recompiled with the software renderer, and it works beautifully.I was running a Debian guest on a Windows 7 VirtualBox host.
The auto-enlarging of the first paragraph, while it looks nice, is jarringwith the reading of my docs.
The block-quotes text doesn't really stand out as a block quote to my eyes.
Please disregard my previous comment on GUS and redirects, it also worksfine for me.
Regardless, lovely work. Thanks!

Hello all,
This is my first post to the mailing list, so greetings everyone! I've
been following Gemini for a couple of months now and really like the
thinking behind it. The community has done lots of impressive work on an
elegant, small foundation.
I would like to introduce you to a new desktop GUI client I've been
writing. It is called "Lagrange", and me being a visual/gamedev kind of guy
one of the main goals is to make it an aesthetically pleasing app. At the
moment, I have binaries available for Windows and macOS, and a source
tarball for compiling on Linux.
Short description and build instructions:
gemini://skyjake.fi/lagrange/
Source code and releases:
https://git.skyjake.fi/skyjake/lagrange
In the spirit of Gemini, the guiding principle has been to trim things
down to the bare bones. To keep the app as portable and small as possible,
it's written in C and doesn't depend on existing UI frameworks. Instead,
SDL2 is used for low-level graphics/input and the rest is built on top of
that. TLS is provided by OpenSSL.
Feature highlights:
* Beautiful typography using Unicode fonts
* Autogenerated page style and Unicode icon for each Gemini domain
* Smart suggestions when typing the URL — search bookmarks, history,
identities
* Sidebar for page outline, managing bookmarks and identities, and viewing
history
* Multiple tabs
* Identity management — create and use TLS client certificates
This is version 0.1 so it is not yet feature complete, but the commonly
needed stuff should be working. Give it a spin if interested, and let me
know if you have any comments or improvement ideas.
