[ANN] Twin Peaks: A graphical Gemini browser written in C#

Hello.

I was getting a little tired of browsing Geminispace from a SSH session or 
a web browser on my Windows machine, so last weekend I whipped up really 
quick a new Gemini client: https://github.com/invisibleup/twinpeaks/releases

It's still pretty rough, as I've only thrown about two days of effort into 
it. (For instance, the link rendering right now is pretty broken, because 
of a bug in the rich text renderer I'm using where it doesn't handle links 
properly.) But it's been mostly fine with every page I've thrown at it. It 
mostly passes the torture test, so I consider that an accomplishment. It's 
amazing that I can make a perfectly adequate browser *this* quickly, really.

Right now it only supports text/gemini documents in UTF-8, but I 
eventually want to add support for Markdown, plain text, images, and 
binary data. Gopher support would be cool too. I also eventually want to 
add customization options for the home page, the colors, the fonts, etc. 
Maybe have per-site themes? That might be neat.

Let me know what you think.

Very nice! I've been using elpher on my Windows machines, but it's great
to see a graphical browser for Windows.

Someone needs to step up for MacOS now.
