I'm using gemini for few weeks but I'm already wondering which is the client to
|
|
browser gemini? I'm not sure on gemini we call it a browser?
|
|
|
|
At the moment I'm switching mostly between two different browser:
|
|
|
|
* Lagrange: the first I used
|
|
* Amfora: because it is terminal based
|
|
|
|
Initially I'm not a terminal evangelist but something tells me Gemini works
|
|
better on terminal than a graphical client. I really like how pages displayes in
|
|
Amfora: it's more readable. But I'm having trouble with capsule which used
|
|
certificate authentification. It works on both Lagrange and Amfora but the user
|
|
experience in Amfora is really weird for this part. It requires to manually
|
|
configure keys/certs in the config file for each capsule. And when a capsule is
|
|
not setup no help is provided. No identity generation for this website nor a
|
|
selector to choose which identity to use. So instead of leaving amfora to setup
|
|
the new website I browse elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
On Lagrange this is the total opposite. Identity could be generated or you can
|
|
select an existing one. But I really don't like how content is displayed and
|
|
design makes me using mouse a lot. I think I could setup better display by
|
|
playing with fonts and size.
|
|
|
|
Recently [1] I played with feeds in Amfora and Lagrange because mine was not
|
|
working and discover that Lagrange supports gemini feeds based on a text/gemini
|
|
file but not Amfora. Atom feeds were working correctly (when no missing link) on
|
|
both Lagrange and Amfora.
|
|
|
|
I've a preference for Amfora at the moment but identity managment is really a
|
|
pain. So time to time I switch back to Lagrange and don't really if I'll really
|
|
switch on it...
|
|
|
|
EDIT: I forgot to mentioned that Langrage suits better for content which
|
|
contains media files. It works nice in Amfora too but for sound files for
|
|
example it downloads the entire file before to start playing it which seems not
|
|
to be the same on Lagrange.
