Project goals

My aim is to create a decent gopher client suitable for daily use without resorting to web technologies. No HTML nor CSS under the hood.

Status

This project is still a work in progress, expect occasional breakage. Patches and feedback welcome.

The way it looks as of v0.5.8

Usage

How to run

Install Racket, then run:

% racket src/main.rkt [--tls] [address]

(Running % raco make src/main.rkt beforehand can make it launch faster.)

If you don’t want to install Racket, you can fetch a binary release (might be outdated) and run it:

% bin/gophwr [--tls] [address]

To configure it, copy the example config file to your Racket preferences directory. See more on the wiki.

Installation

You can install it directly to your local Racket setup:

% raco pkg install --user git://github.com/erkin/gophwr.git

Alternatively, if you’re using the Nix package manager, simply run % nix-build in the repo and it will build a package for you. (Courtesy of racket2nix.)
