Bebop/README.md

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 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.

[kristall]: https://kristall.random-projects.net/

It passes the Conman's client test but not Egsam's for now.



Features
--------

### What works

Common basic browsing features work: go to URL, scrolling, follow links,
redirections, page encoding.

Bebop also provide these neat features:

- History
- Caching
- Bookmarks: it's just a text file with bindings.

Check out [this board](BOARD.txt) for what's done and coming next.

### 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.
