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!
