Project Goals

The goal of this project is to create a client that attracts people to the Gopher community, and entices them to stay for the ride:

• [x] Suggest the most active Gopher communities to get started
• [x] Make it easy to search the Gopherspace and start exploring
• [ ] Aggregate phlogs into feeds to help following creators and giving them a bigger audience
• [ ] Curate the best and most active Gopherholes
• [ ] Figure out a way to let users interact with creators, or show them support, without changing the Gopher experience
• [ ] Show engaging media inline, if desired

It aims to provide features that are unique to the Gopher experience:

• [x] Multi-column drill-down navigation like Finder
• [x] View pages as folders and files
• [ ] Inline and tree navigation like Explorer
• [ ] Keyboard and number-based navigation

And of course, all of the features that we have come to expect:

• [x] Tabs
• [x] Browsing history
• [x] Recently visited pages
• [x] Aggressive caching
• [x] Downloads
• [x] Combined search and address bar
• [x] A welcome and start page
• [ ] User bookmarks
• [ ] Theming & Dark Mode
• [ ] Deep link support (for all platforms)
• [ ] Full drag and drop capabilities
• [ ] Extensions for new Gopher types and Rendering modes
• [ ] Security via TLS
