Amfora

Modified from: amphora by Alvaro Cabrera from the Noun Project

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.

It fully passes Sean Conman's client torture test, with exception of the alternate encodings section, as only UTF-8 and ASCII are supported. It mostly passes the Egsam test.

Usage

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

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 or fullscreen terminals in mind. For optimal usage, make your terminal fullscreen. It was also designed with a dark background terminal in mind, but please file an issue if the colour choices look bad on your terminal setup.
