I'm looking for a way to track visits to my phlog, any ideas? Can I use regular analytics tools? Since it's not html I'm not sure...

Is there like a dark side of gopher? I can’t find any links that will take me too it

Hi I have ran my own gopher site before briefly and recently learned about gemini protocol, it is like gopher, but has TLS encryption so data can't be read in transit between the client and server and am planning on setting up my own gemini site and maybe allowing others to host theirs on my server too if I can figure it out. This community has been so helpful to me in the past and I was wondering if reddit had a place to post about gemini protocol. All I find when I do a search for subreddits is about the astrology sign, a cryptocurrency, and some games, nothing about the web site alternative. I have nothing against gopher and rather like it but the idea of TLS encryption for my gopher pages in the form of gemini capsules is just too enticing!

I’ve setup a Gemini capsule and a Gopher server and wanted to find somewhere to announce that.

gemini://whitemercury.ddns.net

and

gopher://whitemercury.ddns.net

(they are mostly the same)

It’s nothing exciting, I’ve mostly just copied a few posts from my blog for now just to add “content”. I’m not sure what it might turn into.

Hello, All;

For the past year I’ve been working on a new minimal gopher proxy service for the web

https://gopherproxy.net

It has no JavaScript or cookies, written in C, and displays inline images.

The project is free software and is available here https://0x1bi.net/1/git?suricate

If you found any of this useful and want to give back you can donate here Bitcoin: 1LaB3qyW9yzUzZ5n2vaURYfHJWMy4sfBEq

Just noticed Floodgap released a Plua Gopher client for Palm OS, so time to dig out my Palm and have some Gopher fun! I can't wait. I migrated my Gopher server to a new PC.

Has anyone mirrored gophermole? are there any good alternatives?

Hello all!

I have been working on a new, still-unnamed graphical Gopher client for Linux, Mac and Windows.

You can see it in action here: https://imgur.com/a/miOTyl7

My goal is to create the richest, most modern Gopher client around, with features not even seen in web browsers, like multi-column navigation, filterable folder & files view, and inline media display. And of course: tabs, history, bookmarks, downloads, caching, inline search fields, the omnibar, a new tab page...

Planned features include TLS, theming (dark mode anyone?), "watched" pages with a daily feed of updates, inline and tree navigation, whole-folder downloads, extensions for new Gopher types, rendering modes, file types, number-based navigation, gemini protocol, and more.

I think it's reaching an interesting point, and I wanted to share. I did not release the repository yet, but I will do if there's interest.

What do you think?

^{^(And how should I name it? :D)}

I do not use gopher as often as I wish I did. But I did access my gopherhole this morning and I was reminded of the sheer speed of the protocol. The speed alone makes gopher excellent for information retrieval. I wish there was a gopher revival. How are you using or promoting gopher these days?

I wrote a smol HTTP to Gopher proxy mainly for the benefit of my gopher client on my PDP11, so I can do some "web" browsing on a microcontroller. I thought it may be of interest to some gopher users here - please do let me know of any potential improvements.

I'm also looking for a lighter-weight gopher client for my PDP11 - with only 65k of ram addressable at any time by a process, I keep running into malloc errors when I try to visit larger translated pages. If you know of any, please do let me know.

As this year's April Fool's prank, I migrated my diner website to Gopher (yeah, I know: lol). Anyway, I liked building it, and there's no reason to take it down, so it's still available via gopher at dinerville.info, or via web proxy at https://www.dinerville.info/gopher/.

I use lynx as my cli Gopher app and LaGrange as my GUI app on Fedora to explore both Gopher and Gemini. What are you using and what are some of your favorite Gopher and Gemini sites?

Sometimes you want to have a link to something else in a gopher file. I have a page describing a podcast i enjoy. In Gemini or in an html file I'd do a link in the relevant format required for gmi or html. What is the best way for Gopher? (Gopher or alternative protocols)

1. I can put a URL, but it won't be clickable

2. I can turn the whole thing into a gophermap file and have links. I'd have to move all, or just the documents with links in, each into their own directory and make them each into a gophermap.

What works best, is there any disadvantage to option 2 for visitors?

If I were to make a gopher search engine (like Veronica), how does the gopher server call it? I assume it will be plain TCP call but in what manner the selector and query (and the rest) are provided? Plaintext with some separator?
