#Moonlander

Just another "fancy" Gemini client.

Status: Alpha, Maintenance mode

#Maintenance Mode

Moonlander is currently in maintenance mode. It works and I still use it as a daily driver, but I probably won't add any new features, bug fixes, or anything else for some time. I will most likely visit it later on, but just not today.

#Looking for the "Legacy" Moonlander?

If you are looking for the Legacy Moonlander with the custom renderer and all, please see moonlander-legacy

#Missing Features / Roadmap

The roadmap has been moved to https://todo.sr.ht/~admicos/moonlander

#Features

• GTK based GUI attempting to look native to GNOME-like desktops
• Fancy Gemtext rendering with an overcomplicated theming system
• Preformatted text collapsing
• Tabs
• URL bar search

#Downloads

For the alpha, there are no versions and Linux binaries are created for each commit.

• Go to https://builds.sr.ht/~admicos/moonlander

• Open the topmost entry

• Download moonlander or moonlander.AppImage from the sidebar, under "Artifacts"

  • moonlander depends on GTK >= 3.22. The binary is built under Debian Stable. Distributions incompatible with that (older or different libc) should use the AppImage or build manually.

  • moonlander.AppImage is a bit larger but should work everywhere an AppImage can work on. (Might require FUSE)

#Building

#Requirements

• Linux (Unless you want to go through the headache of making GTK work on Windows)
  • If you do, please write how somewhere, might be useful to other people!
• GTK >= 3.22
• A new-ish Rust compiler (Aiming for latest stable, older versions might still work)

#How to

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~admicos/moonlander
cd moonlander

cargo build --release

cd target/release
strip -s moonlander # optional, reduces file size by a couple MB
