Recording of v1.0.0

Amfora aims to be the best looking Gemini client with the most features... all in the terminal. It does not support Gopher or other non-Web protocols - check out Bombadillo for that.

It also aims to be completely cross platform, with full Windows support. If you're on Windows, I would not recommend using the default terminal software. Maybe use Powershell (comes with Windows) or Cmder instead. Note that some of the application colors will not display correctly on most Windows terminals, but all functionality will still work.

It fully passes Sean Conman's client torture test, including the new Unicode tests. It mostly passes the Egsam test.

Installation

Binary

Download a binary from the releases page. On Unix-based systems you might have to make the file executable with chmod +x <filename>. You should also move the binary to /usr/local/bin/.

On Windows, make sure you click "Advanced > Run anyway" after double-clicking, or something like that.

Unix systems can install the desktop entry file to get Amfora to appear when they search for applications:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora/master/amfora.desktop -o ~/.local/share/applications/amfora.desktop
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

Arch Linux

Arch Linux users can install Amfora from AUR. It has the package name amfora, and is maintained by @pboyd.

yay -S amfora

Homebrew

If you use Homebrew, you can install the package maintained by @Jackymancs4.

brew install jackymancs4/tap/amfora

You can update it with:

brew upgrade amfora

From Source

This section is for programmers who want to install from source.

Install latest release:

GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora

Install latest commit:

GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora@master

Usage

Just call amfora or amfora <url> on the terminal. On Windows it might be amfora.exe instead.

To determine the version, you can run amfora --version or amfora -v.

The project keeps many standard terminal keybindings and is intuitive. Press ? inside the application to pull up the help menu with a list of all the keybindings, and Esc to leave it. If you have used Bombadillo you will find it similar.

It is designed with large terminals in mind, but should look and work well at any reasonable terminal size.

It was tested with left-to-right languages, and will likely not work as well with right-to-left languages like Arabic.
