- tommica 4y agoFor those who were wondering: Triptych definition: a set of three associated artistic, literary, or musical works intended to be appreciated together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptych https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptych
- O1111OOO 4y agoCompletely agree - they are the top three GUI browsers running in GeminiSpace. Since I am seeing lots of confused comments - both Kristall and Lagrange are x-platform and portable. Very easy to take out for a spin:-) There's also JGemini (https://github.com/kevinboone/jgemini https://github.com/kevinboone/jgemini), a cute little 107kb jar file that's also a full GUI browser. Yes! 107kb:-) Also x-platform and portable (java -jar ./jgemini-1.0.jar). Not many features (no tabs, just multiple windows) but it's a good example of how quickly browsing solutions can be built when markup is reduced. That is... you don't need billions of dollars and a decade to present a viable solution in this space. GeminiSpace actually reminds me much of the early days of the web. People will complain about the limited markup. For some users, the additional security/privacy of the protocol and the reduced 'noise' makes this appealing. ----------------------------- Gemini (protocol), Gemtext format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)
