Bebop is a [Gemini][gemini] browser for the terminal, focusing on practicality
|
2021-05-16 00:40:21 +02:00
|
|
|
and laziness. It is a personal project to learn how to use ncurses and try new
|
2021-03-05 19:29:20 +01:00
|
|
|
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.

If you are interested in Gemini and looking for a desktop/laptop 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, but if
|
|
|
|
|
you want to try something a bit different, keep reading…

Why use Bebop instead of something else?

|
|
|
- Lightweight, no external Python dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
- Nice keybinds are defined, and Vim users should get quickly familiar with
|
|
|
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fun! Link navigation is done by entering the link ID with automatic
|
|
|
|
|
validation: if there are less than 10 links on a page, pressing the link ID
|
|
|
|
|
will take you to the page directly. If there are 30 links, pressing "1" will
|
|
|
|
|
wait for another digit. If there are 1000 links but you wish to visit link
|
|
|
|
|
5, pressing 5 and enter will do. Of course this is based on my own
|
|
|
|
|
perception of what exactly makes a client "fun" to use, but give it a shot!
|
|
|
|
|
- History, cache, client certificates, bookmarks (it's just a text file with
|
|
|
|
|
bindings), downloads and more!
