Sterrenkijker

The other gemini client

Sterrenkijker is a gemini client made with Flutter (the google thing). Its still very WIP so no releases yet.

Its got a quirky UI that puts all the tabs and controls on the bottom of the screen just to be a little different from conventional browsers.

The following list is probably going to be a bit out of date, the gitlab's readme ought to be the best source on progress

It currently supports:

- Gemini! wahoo

- gemtext rendering

- Multiple tabs

- Per-tab history

- Search engines (currently with kennedy.gemi.dev)

- Automatic tab restore when started

- Dynamic colors! on supported operating systems, it uses your designated system colors for all the UI.

- Opening non-gemini links in other apps/software

- image rendering

Still to be added:

- bug spray

- proper lists

- settings

- identities / client certificates. The UI is partially implemented.

- share button for downloading & sharing files

- viewing server certificates

- gemini redirects

- gemini prompts

Probably not gonna be added:

- bookmarks (idk where to put the ui for this lmao)

- caching (gemini is fast enough that idrc to implement it)

The name comes from one of the the dutch words for a telescope.

Also it kind of sucks to write flutter. i dont like it. but it does make for nice results on phones (flutter on desktop is. mehhh.) and its got a lot of packages.
