Bebop

Bebop is a 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, 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 or 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

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 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.
