About gplaces
gplaces is a light Gemini client with a high power to weight ratio. In a tiny package, it features:
A VT100-compatible shell with completion, history and hints
.gmi subscriptions
TOFU and permanent redirects
Generation of client certificates
Slightly prettified Gemtext output
Configurable handlers for various file types
Quick navigation to recently viewed pages
Support for other "small internet" protocols: Titan, Spartan, Gopher, Finger and Guppy
gplaces should be fairly straightforward to use for anyone used to the command-line and man pages. Type "readme" for a short introduction.
