What client do station users use to browse Gemini?

I am using Lagrange on my phone and it's amazing.

I'd be interested in a terminal client that I can use on my headless RasPi that does not have vim-inspired key mappings (I expect most programmers over here will cringe reading this, LOL).

@coffeefueledgoat oh, I didn't think about theming it. I'll look around, see if I can find something I like to customise it. @gritty I forgot you can build it in TUI mode: I think I'll stick to Amfora for now though, it's actually pretty solid. @m0xee yeah I see what you mean. It's been fine for replying to messages here, but I imagine it would be a bit weird for writing long posts. What do you use? · 3 months ago

been using Amfora! found me a good custom theme for it, and I've stuck with it for a good while now. · 3 months ago

lagrange has a cli client. I think skyjake is still working on it. I like amfora · 3 months ago

Amfora is all-round good for browsing, you can even enable mouse with a trivial patch and use that or other pointing device to scroll through pages, although you would still have to resort to keyboard to open links.

But it's not as comfortable for writing posts, especially longer ones, on Station — as it only gives you a narrow one line field. · 3 months ago

@userfxnet Thank you! I am trying amfora now and I am really happy with it so far. :) · 3 months ago

I'd say, for the most part, a lot of the tli/cli clients for Gemini protocol are fairly easy to use and pretty intuitive. A couple I'd recommend for sure, hands down, are bombadillo and amfora. (they're what I use on my pubnix)

In case it helps, here's a list of gemini software that's been updated since last month.
