Bebop
=====
Bebop is a [Gemini][gemini] browser for the terminal, focusing on practicality
and speed. It is a personal project to learn how to use ncurses and try new
ways to explore the Geminispace. It borrows some ideas from [Amfora][amfora],
another great terminal browser, Vim for interactivity and tries to support mouse
usage decently.

[amfora]: https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora
If you are interested in Gemini and looking for a client, I recommend trying a
graphical one like the excellent [Lagrange][lagrange] or [Kristall][kristall],
or Amfora if you're feeling more at home in the terminal. Bebop won't attempt
to support every feature other clients might have.

It passes the Conman's client test but not Egsam's for now.
Features
--------
### What works
- Basic browsing: scrolling, follow links, redirections, Web links.
### What is planned
- Handle more content types.
- Great config options.
- Identity management with temporary and managed certificates.
- Buffers (or tabs if you prefer).
- Home page.
- Bookmarks.
### What is not planned for now
- 256-colors mode and themes.
- Subscriptions. I have no need for them as I prefer to use a browser-agnostic
aggregator at the moment.
