Hi there!

Apologies for the prolonged silence. Waning interest in Pocket Gopher 
coincided with a bad time in my life, so I dropped the ball for a few 
years. Now I'm back, not least thanks to that recent article on 
www.minnpost.com, but as feature phones have fallen by the wayside, 
there's little point in continuing with my old client. So I decided to 
make a new one.

Gophersnake is written in Python and Tkinter, so it's inherently 
portable (should run out of the box on most Linux and Mac boxes). It's 
also stand-alone, modern-looking, and like its predecessor offers the 
user a decent set of starting points. All this should make Gopher more 
visible to newcomers than a browser plugin. It's still at a very early 
stage, but I'll keep poking at it. And just in case anyone shows more 
than a passing interest, I put it on GitHub for now: 
https://github.com/felixplesoianu/gophersnake -- its nature also makes 
it easier to hack and maintain. So, hope this helps.

Best regards,
Felix

P.S. There's another similar client out there:
