⚠️ This post is archived from my phlog in Gopherspace. Please read my post on the Gopher Protocol to get started!
The point of this article is to get you browsing gopherspace quickly and to share some of my favorite gopherholes…
Clients
- sacc: like
gopher
, but maybe better. TUI. - clic
Waffle
I wrote a Gopher Protocol client called Waffle. Please read my post about Waffle.
Dillo
I wrote about Dillo in a separate post.
Lagrange (Android, Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS)
Lagrange is a Gemini + Gopher Protocol client (maybe more?) for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux, I think.
Linux (Flatpak)
Here’s how I set it up:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak install ./fi.skyjake.Lagrange.flatpakref
You may wanna run:
flatpak list
This is how to launch:
flatpak run lagrange
at first you may get this at suome point:
$ flatpak run lagrange
Note that the directories
'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'
'/home/tilde/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'
are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.
You may want to log in log out/restart session or something.
Try opening gopher://gopher.someodd.zip:7070/
gopher
try gopher -p "/" gopher.someodd.zip 7070
My favorite gopherholes
- Of course my very own Gopherden forum:
gopher://gopher.someodd.zip:7070/
and my gopherhole built with burrowgopher://gopher.someodd.zip:7071
gopher://mozz.us/
: has some games, a flash archive, and other things. If you’re using Lagrange they also havegemini://mozzu.us/
!
Also checkout the Gemini protocol!
I think the Gemini Protocol is worth checking out!
