I would like for my iMac G4 running OSX Tiger to have a simple gemini browser with a GUI. Which is hard to find. mcross is close. It's python/tkinter, but it uses ttk widgets, which don't work on tigerbrew's python3.7 install. I *think* I can just fall back to tk widgets and it should work, but I haven't tried it. For now I'm just using openssl directly on the commandline like god intended. (And lagrange on a modern mac, e.g. to write this.)

Update: I edited the mcross source to replace all instances of `ttk` in the code with `tk`, and it Just Worked(tm). Now it just needs to support certificates, and sending text strings :)

Still todo is a PR to the mcross repo... ยท 10 months ago

Yes, good point. I do have a command-line client that runs natively, but I want my lickable aqua UI! ยท 10 months ago

If you have a machine you can connect to, you could SSH into that and use amfora or any other to browse gemini. It isn't ideal, but should work. ยท 10 months ago
