Introducing Scout, an iOS native Gemini client
I'm excited to announce that Scout, a new iOS Gemini client written in SwiftUI, is live in the App Store! To check it out visit the gmeini page below.
This was a side project I started in December of last year and I practically finished it, but due to a lot of other life circumstances had to pause efforts of publishing it. Really enjoyed building something I wanted to use every day, and it feels good to make it available for anyone else who wants to try it. Here are some of it's features:
- Browse Gemini capsules with full `text/gemini` rendering (headers, links, lists, preformatted text)
- URL bar with navigation history (back/forward)
- Tab management
- Bookmarks
- Media preview support (images, audio, video)
- Input prompt handling (status 10/11)
- Automatic redirect following (status 30/31)
- TOFU (Trust on First Use) certificate verification
- Client certificate generation and management
- Theming support (custom background and text colors)
The code is open source under the MIT license and can be browsed using SSH:
This also means I am keeping the app 100% free. I don't want a price tag put on people's exploration of Gemini. It is by no means in a final state, so if you have feedback please do let me know! Excited to see what people think of it.
