# gemifedi

[![builds.sr.ht status](https://builds.sr.ht/~boringcactus/gemifedi.svg)](https://builds.sr.ht/~boringcactus/gemifedi?)

a [gemini](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) frontend to [the fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse) (specifically, Mastodon and Pleroma instances).

by [boringcactus](https://www.boringcactus.com).

currently mostly awful.

## usage

1. get a `gemifedi` binary through either method:

   a. `cargo install --git https://git.sr.ht/~boringcactus/gemifedi`.

   b. hit up [the latest passing build](https://builds.sr.ht/~boringcactus/gemifedi) and download the Linux binary from the Artifacts panel.
2. run `gemifedi localhost` to attach it to `localhost`, or run `gemifedi --help` for more comprehensive options.
4. open the gemini link that gets printed by `gemifedi`.
5. run through the authentication prompts.
6. tada! your timeline, ugly but technically rendered, via Gemini.

## demo instance (i promise not to snoop on your timeline but i technically could so if you don't trust me don't trust me)

`gemini://gemifedi.boringcactus.com/about`

## bruh this code isn't quite as bad as it used to be but still sucks

i am aware of that.
it'll get fixed eventually.
the error handling is the main thing i want to fix next.
