Hey Geminauts, I just pushed the initial release of Castor, a GTK Gemini browser. There are no binaries yet but if you have a Rust toolchain installed it should be easy to compile. Source is here https://git.sr.ht/~julienxx/castor I would love some feedback on the app if you have ideas, criticism... Have some nice Winter solstice festivities! -- julienxx

Looking nice! I haven't had a chance to try building it, but I like that
you're working on it.

Works well on openbsd too. Thank you for sharing! > Added gopher and finger support too! Works quite nicely too! /Magnus
Thanks for sharing this, and congrats on being the first graphical Gemini client author! Today I finally managed to get Castor compiled (Rust and Debian Stable are not a winning combiation) and took it for a little test drive. On the whole it seems to work quite nicely, but I did notice some oddities with Gopher content, e.g. gopher://republic.circumlunar.space/~katolaz/phlog/20200111_hack_the_break.txt seems to have the top part of the document missing. I have added Castor to the official list of Gemini software at gemini.circumlunar.space, sorry for the delay in doing so!

Finally got around to trying it out. It's good to see a second graphical gemini browser, also you clearly put some more work into the gtk side of things wich looks really good, than I did with "dragonstone". Thank you for sharing this one! -Baschdel Here is a link to dragonstone: https://gitlab.com/baschdel/dragonstone (I stopped working on it beacause of other projects)

That link isn't proper---it should be: gopher://republic.circumlunar.space/0/~katolaz/phlog/20200111_hack_the_break.txt -spc (just an FYI)
Ah, good catch. I just blindly copied and pasted from the address bar of Castor, which doesn't seem to iclude item types in the URL. I don't think that's related to this error, though, but it might well be.
