A modern Gopher desktop client for the twenty-twenties. Help me name it!
Written in Electron, TypeScript, and React.
The goal of this project is to create a client that attracts people to the Gopher community, and entices them to stay for the ride:
- Suggest the most active Gopher communities to get started
- Make it easy to search the Gopherspace and start exploring
- Aggregate phlogs into feeds to help following creators and giving them a bigger audience
- Curate the best and most active Gopherholes
- Figure out a way to let users interact with creators, or show them support, without changing the Gopher experience
- Show engaging media inline, if desired
It aims to provide features that are unique to the Gopher experience:
- Multi-column drill-down navigation like Finder
- View pages as folders and files
- Inline and tree navigation like Explorer
- Keyboard and number-based navigation
And of course, all of the features that we have come to expect:
- Tabs
- Browsing history
- Recently visited pages
- Aggressive caching
- Downloads
- Combined search and address bar
- A welcome and start page
- User bookmarks
- Theming & Dark Mode
- Deep link support (for all platforms)
- Full drag and drop capabilities
- Extensions for new Gopher types and Rendering modes
- Security via TLS
Challenge yourself to crack the hardest problem known to mankind: naming things!
Help me find a short, memorable, and ideally cute or clever name for this project, and be forever immortalized through history.
