On: Surfing the Gopherspace

There's also Gemini, which is like a modern version of Gopher.

Gemini ecosystem is quite active. There other smaller protocols as well, all part of the "small web" or "small internet" movement. I wrote a bit about Gemini recently[2]. If you're curious about it, you might want to give it a read.

I've implemented some of them in my little toy browser Fafi[1].

If you want a browser with more features and more polish you can check Lagrange[3], it also supports Gopher and Finger besides Gemini.

Love that you implemented Fafi in Racket. Seems like a perfect use!

Gemini seems to be the land of broken clients. I tried amfora recently, and it gave a fatal error. I futzed around with other clients in the past, and they all seemed to have problems of their own.

I suggest trying Lagrange https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange

Thanks for that. I found an AppImage, and hey presto, it works. It's so beautiful, too.
