I would love to code a Gemini browser on [tulip.computer] at some point. It is micropython with lvgl.

I’ll share the code when it’s ready. But you can get started easily — you can download the Micropython Unix port with LVGL baked in from the LVGL website and start coding right away!

@hanzbrix I used the Orange Pi Zero and it needed device tree overlays and xorg.conf files. I know nothing about that stuff so it was good to find appropriate files on GitHub.

Ameen: You can probably write something like this. My only problem is, I lost the source code for this. :(

Preview of a Gemini browser for ESP32 😊 — I started working on a little ESP32 based Gemini browser in Micropython! Check out the link for a video of the progress so far. It can make simple Gemini requests over TLS, and render the contents to a 2.8in TFT screen with some basic typography. Might add an ASCII-art-to-Bitmap proxy into the mix; so I can render ASCII art properly to the screen, but offloading the computation from the ESP32 to some outside service. Pretty cool, for parts you are...
