tilde.club now serves gopher! we're using gophernicus as our gopherd.

user pages are served from your ~/public_gopher dirs and can be accessed at gopher://tilde.club/1/~username. note that the itemtype 1 is required.

basic gophermap syntax

files named gophermap are the gopher equivalent to index.html. each line in a gophermap consists of the following parts separated by literal tab characters:

• item type
• display name
• selector
• host
• port

for example:

1tildeclub<tab>/<tab>tilde.club<tab>70

basic item types include:

• 0 - text file
• 1 - directory
• 7 - search query
• 9 - binary file
• g - gif image
• h - html file
• i - info text
• I - generic image file (not a gif)

gophernicus also supports the following special types:

• # - comment

• !title - only valid on the first line

• -file - hide file from listings

• :ext=type - change filetype

• ~ - include a list of users with a valid ~/public_gopher

• =mapfile - include or execute a script or gophermap

• - - stop processing gophermap and include file listing

• . - stop processing gophermap (default)
