<br>
I'm new here, this is my first post. Cameron (Floodgap) pointed me to<br>
here. I had no idea there was a mailing list like this, so I am not up<br>
to date on Gopher developments by the community.<br>
<br>
I've been obsessed by the Gopher protocol for about a year now and<br>
wanted to learn developing JavaFX apps in Java, so that was a good<br>
combination. Therefore, I've stared working on a Gopher GUI client.<br>
<br>
I've posted an early screenshot on Twitter:<br>
<a href="https://twitter.com/vintzend/status/683710791271497728" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/vintzend/status/683710791271497728</a> (yes I should<br>
have posted it on my gopherspace too, will do soon). Note that I didn't<br>
spend much time on the layout out yet, I first want the thing to be<br>
stable.<br>
<br>
Right now the GUI-stuff works (tabs, back/next....) and I am adding<br>
support for more and more Gopher items (right now menu and text files<br>
are working), I plan to add as much gopher types as I can. Other<br>
features that I've planned are good bookmark management, keeping history<br>
and I'll do my best to make it highly configurable.<br>
<br>
I know Java is not popular on the desktop anymore, but I believe it'll<br>
be possible to release executables for Windows and Mac (not sure of<br>
Linux), not really looked into that yet. I plan to release the source on<br>
GitHub, once I have ironed out some bugs.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have ideas for new features or want to share your<br>
opinion.<br>
<br>
Kind regards from The Netherlands,<br>
Vincent<br>
