Hi Everyone

Perhaps I can offer some partial respite from some of the other long 
running mailing list threads...

I'm pleased to announce SmolNetSharp - a new client library for building 
your own Smolnet client.

   https://github.com/LukeEmmet/SmolNetSharp

Key features include:


	
Client code for Gemini and Gopher, using a common interface
	
Option to set a timeout/max size to abandon long or large downloads
	
Converts Gopher item types to mime types
	
Support for Gemini proxies
	
Compiles on Windows and probably Linux too (since .NET Core, but not 

not tested on Linux yet)

There is a simple 100 line Gemini/Gopher simple demo interactive client 
in the repository, to illustrate usage.

It is now the client library in GemiNaut, a new release of which is also 
coming soon.

Oh, God. Thank you!

For what it's worth, I can confirm it compiles and runs just fine on Linux 
(after I installed 3.1, previously I only had 5.0 installed).

My background is in C#, but I haven't really used it since 2013 or so. 
I've checked out dotnet core a couple of times, but never really 
"returned" to the language despite intending to.

Always nice to see new open source projects using the language.

Many thanks for confirming this - I'll update the readme to say it is 
possible.
