Re: "Liking gopher more and more..."

In: s/gopher

Mmm, the monospaced links look so good!

Turning off Wrap long preformatted lines and zooming out a tad makes phlogs look right in Lagrange.

I wonder if I can just switch to a mono typeface on Gemini sites as well. Come to think of it, everything went to s**t contemporaneously with the Mac and its fancy proportional fonts... Apple ][ forever!

Instead of zooming in/out I just set the UI scale factor to between .6 and .9 depending on the device

what are those gophermaps?

one pascal developer have been written a gopher browser by using lazarus'

โ€” tree view class.

since i don't understand gopher and never used it i don't understand why is that tree view used.

alas, i lost the source. the link to bitbucket at some places is broken.

i found author on github and contacted him and he said he can't find that source too, lost it too.

this is how

โ€” ttreeview looks.

this is an amiga version, but the idea is even better understandable here.

(and yes it is possible to write once and compile to linux, windows, macos and even amiga oses)

Liking gopher more and more... โ€” The more time I spend digging through phlogs, the more I think I like Gopher more than Gemini. Maybe it has to do with not enjoying proportional fonts on lagrange, but somehow gopher pages look tighter and more pleasing
