🥜 Nutshell

Alhena supports gemini, gopher, spartan, nex, titan and https protocols. Web pages can be opened in a browser or coverted to gemtext. Choose from multiple themes in the 'Settings' menu. Import a PEM file by right-clicking on a page for the respective host. Edit bookmarks, history and client certs by right-clicking on their respective screens. If you find a bug or have an idea for an enhancement, create an issue on GitHub.

🧩 Tidbits

Alhena can display color emojis and ANSI color codes on all platforms. Networking and file I/O is asynchronous. Data is fed into the page renderer as it comes off the wire. Probably overkill but fun to code.

🗑 Uninstall

A hidden '.alhena' directory is created in the user's home folder. This directory contains the database and cacerts file. To uninstall, first delete the program (Mac/Linux) or uninstall from Window's Settings. Delete the '.alhena' folder in your home directory and you're done.

Alhena is a star in the Gemini constellation.
