###### 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. Use Windows Terminal instead, and make sure it works with UTF-8. Note that some of the application colors might not display correctly on Windows, but all functionality will still work.

It fully passes Sean Conman's client torture test, as well as the Egsam one.

Project Status

Amfora is in maintenance mode. When possible, I’ll make/merge bug fixes, and maybe slowly merge feature PRs by others. See my blog post for details.

Installation

Binary

Download a binary from the releases page. On Unix-based systems you will have to make the file executable with chmod +x <filename. You can rename the file to just amfora for easy access, and move it 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

Make sure to click "Watch" in the top right, then "Custom" "Releases" to get notified about new releases!
