What Hacker News says
4 sourcesYou should learn about the Gemini protocol! It's an alternative to HTTPS that uses a document markup language similar to Markdown instead of HTML, and uses a deliberately simplified, feature-frozen protocol with the explicit goal that anyone should be able to write their own Gemini browser "in a weekend". No scripting or styling support, just documents with links and images in them.
Here are some informative webpages on the topic, neither of them mine:
https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi

In The "Cheap" WebYou can access gopher using a regular browser through Floodgap's proxy: http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw
A good gopher hole to visit to find recently-updated material is here: gopher://i-logout.cz/1/bongusta/
Using a terminal, the old lynx browser is probably the most widely available and user-friendly client.
If you want a GUI, Skyjake's Lagrange browser is beautiful and available for Linux, Mac, and Windows: https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange

For a GUI, I use Lagrange:

Lagrange is sort of the Netscape of Gemini. It works on all the major desktop and mobile OSes. Personally prefer Elaho (iOS) or Buran (Android) for mobile
