No bells, no whistles, a journal of Soyuz development.

Soyuz is a WIP Gemini client. Rendering and keyboard/mouse interaction

are done through SDL. In its current exploratory phase it's written in

C# (.NET Core) and as such should run on any modern platform (Windows,

Linux, OSX). With time, once Gemini spec becomes semi-stable, business

logic will be ported over to C++17.

What exists today is a POC that is able to fetch a single gmi document

and display it using non-monospace font.

Primary goals

Primary goals can be summarized as:

• accepting gmi, ascii, ansi, txt
• proportional font support with text wrapping
• good support for monospace content
• support for JPG, PNG and GIF images
• configurable looks (desired wrapping width, colors, font sizes)
• support for keyboard and mouse navigation
• bookmarks and OS integration (links in other apps launch Soyuz)

Secondary goals

Secondary goals (a.k.a. maybe at some point I'll get to this):

• screen reader support
• i18n
• rendering AsciiDoc and reStructuredText
• support for SVG
• gopher protocol

Once Soyuz becomes a semi-usable browser, its source will be released

under an ISC or a BSD 2-Clause License (TBD).

Thoughts on the Gemini protocol and document format

I've got many, stay tuned.
