Kristall Small-Internet Browser
2020-06-07
Presenting the Kristall browser for Gemini, Gopher, HTTP, …
Why?
I was starting to write my own gemini client in Zig, called gurl:
https://github.com/MasterQ32/gurl
It's a really small client, and is barely working. But it showed me how nice both gemini as a protocol and text/gemini as a text format is. So I was tempted to create a graphical gemini client. And here it is!
Features
- First class cross-platform with Qt5
- Fetches several protocols (gemini, http, https, ...)
- Serves text and image documents, including text/gemini, markdown and simplified HTML
- Stylable content display
- All the usability features you want (favourites, navigation history, multiple tabs, ...)
How to get?
Currently, there is no binary release for Kristall, you have to build it yourself. Just fetch the source from GitHub and follow the build instructions in the README.md:
