Telescope is a w3m-like browser for Gemini. It was written on a whim,
just to play with ncurses, libtls, libevent and the macros from
`sys/queue.h`, but I'd like to finish it into a featureful Gemini
browser.
At the moment, telescope is something **a bit more than a working
demo**. However, it has already some interesting features, like tabs,
privsep, input from the minibuffer etc...
There are still various things missing or, if you prefer, various
things that you can help develop :)
- UTF8 handling: it needs to handle non-ASCII characters in pages and
in the minibuffer input
- bookmarks
- subscriptions
- tofu
- client certificates
- add other GUI: atm it uses only ncurses, but telescope shouldn't be
restricted to TTYs only!
- configuration file: even proposals are accepted. I need a way to
define bindings, colors etc in a way that will possibly work on
more than one graphic libraries.
## Building
Telescope depends on ncursesw, libtls (from either LibreSSL or
libretls), libevent (either v1 or v2).
To build a release tarball just execute:
./configure
make
sudo make install
If you want to build from the git checkout, something that's
discouraged for users who don't intend to hack on telescope
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install # eventually
Please keep in mind that the main branch, from time to time, may be
accidentally broken on some platforms. Telescope is developed
primarily on OpenBSD/amd64 and commits on the main branch don't get
always tested in other OSes. Before tagging a release however, a
comprehensive testing on various platform is done to ensure everything
is working as intended.
## License
Telescope is distributed under a BSD-style licence. The main code is
under the ISC but some files under `compat/` are BSD2 or BSD3.
