Gopherette
Gopherette is an alpha Gopher-space and Gemini browser for your SailfishOS-powered phone. It is distributed under the GPL-3 licence.
It features the following functions:
- Bookmarks
- Page reflowing for portrait mode
- Lynx-style page display in landscape mode
- History navigation
- Displaying pictures
- Using full-text search pages
- Providing details for (yet) unsupported selectors
- Opens WWW links in the navigator
- Phone orientation lock
The reflowing algorithm is far from perfect but it tries to detect ASCII-art, titles and lists. At any moment, the phone can be put in landscape orientation to get a character-perfect view for pages that limit themselves to 80 characters long lines.
Source code is available at https://github.com/remjey/Gopherette

Thanks for gemini support! If you can fix some client errors on astrobotany gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us it'll be perfect! Thanks a lot

Ok - built and installed. Very nice, thanks... Too bad no spec file in source, so I can't share rpm... (I don't know how to write a spec...)

The spec file is autogenerated by the Sailfish SDK, I use the IDE.
I provided an aarch64 RPM on this page.

Can you provide source code, and/or make aarch64 version? Thanks

My wish has already been granted, I've just discovered :-) However, while the Github repository has code for Gemini, the version on Storeman is from 2018 and does not. Am I missing something?

Where is github page? I don't see a link in app info, and nothing comes up in searches for the dev name... **edit** Never mind - link is there now... (weird - maybe I just missed it )

Hi, there is indeed some Gemini support that I started adding some time ago. I had to stop working on it unfortunately. It's kinda usable so I reinstalled the SDK and built a release version. I hope you find it useful!

Gemini would really be nice. Gopher falls short on many accounts, esp. only ASCII support, formatting, links to non-gopher URLs, no MIME types etc. Built in Markdown/CommonMark would be nice. Just some ideas...

Thanks for gopherette! By the way, if could add gemini protocol too, it would be great! Thanks a lot :)

For some reason I discovered this protocol a few days ago and now I’m adding support for it, stay tuned!

Come on people, we (devs) code in our free time. We don't get any money from it (except those couple of euros from donations which is nothing). Don't expect that we create apps that only you like, we code them because we need them for some reason and let others profit from it.

Absurd, someone giving 1 star and ranting just cause he doesnt use a service...move your ass and learn to code. Rant is not a programming language. I dont use this service but Thanks to the author for the effort

You devs should spent your time coding more useful apps than just this kind of crapware. No intention to ofend you, just to say that sailfish os lack so many apps, like a good picture editor or even a decent video player with a wide range of codecs support, and new apps ariving here are always clients for sites and that kind of stuff we can do same way over the browser...

You should spend time learning how to fucking code instead of rating something as 1/5 simply because you don't use a certain service or something. No intention to offend you, you're just a crap person.
