Quite,
I did appreciate eLinks given its extensibility with Lua and Guile.
Alas, the lack of response following distro maintainers messages meant
it was removed from distros like OpenBSD.

I think majority of these TUI web browsers are just kept alive by the distros maintainers and their development is quite staled...

Meanwhile I would be happy if this/terminal browsers like lynx. W3m,
etc simply gained Gemini support.

I hadnt realised that eLinks has been resussitated with a fork
(Felinks)! Thanks for the heads up, the NEWS file looks promising
=
https://github.com/rkd77/elinks/blob/master/NEWS
Particularly so, given fresh references to Python 3, as well as brotli and zstd encodings.
However, its worth citing from this
=
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/network/felinks/
NOTE: Felinks will conflict with Elinks, so currently only one can be
installed at a time
It would probably be best for that project to be more clear that the
original eLinks project is dead with the Felinks name and a new site (Im
clearly behind the curve.
It would be good to know how this project is percieved by the wider FOSS community.
Personally, it would be nice to dust off my old eLinks scripts and see how they
apply following bitrot and forking.
Hopefully it would be a good excuse to use PEGs from Lua and/or Guile to convert HTML
content to Gemini content. Id like to do this from September.
Id assert that (f)elinks would be a useful interface not only for
working across HTML and Gemini content but additionally pushing HTML
towards Gemini content (Im now recalling a very old conversation
regarding eLinks functionality, whereby my friend likened such
intervensions to 'Stalinux').
Ta,

Hi gnuserland,
There is Duckling Proxy.
"Duckling proxy is a Gemini proxy to access the Small Web. Connecting to it
with your Gemini client means you can access many web pages directly with
your favourite client."

I recently created an elinks feature request for gemini, my favorite
console http browser, it appearently also supports gopher, nntp, ftp and
bittorrent.
