## v1.0.0
`phetch` is now **v1.0.0**! Major thanks to @kseistrup for design,
testing, and documentation, @iglosiggio for supporting [GILD][gild],
@lartu for inspiration, and @antirez for re-introducing me to Gopher
one year ago with his blog post, [Gopher: a present for
Redis](http://antirez.com/news/127).

`phetch` is a terminal Gopher client designed to help you quickly
navigate the gophersphere. With a snappy, text-based UI, Gopher types
distinguished by color, and built-in support for secure Gopher and Tor
routing, `phetch` is perfect for catching up on the latest from
sdf.org or kicking back and enjoying some Zaibatsu.
Download a binary release below for Linux, Raspberry Pi, or macOS, or
see the [Installation][install] section of the README for instructions
on how to install for Arch Linux with AUR (`yay phetch`), macOS with
homebrew (`brew install xvxx/code/phetch`), or how to build from
source.

I have fond memories of using telnet to connect to the local library
when I was a kid, browsing their selection of books in an
amber-colored, text-based interface. This was the mid-90s, so I was
using some version of Windows, literally dialing into the library with
Hyperterminal.

It was futuristic. And, I thought, lost in the past. But Gopher, a
relic of that text-based era, lives on thanks to the work of some
amazing folks, and today there are more Gopher servers than ever.
The protocol is simple, constrained, and bursting with opportunity.
And while [MTV may not have an active Gopher server anymore][mtv], you
can easily run your own, or find a generous host like SDF or a tilde.

`phetch` is my attempt to bring a little bit of that retro-nostalgia
back into my terminal. Sure, I can acccess Gopher just fine using
`lynx` or through a web proxy like [Floodgap][floodgap], but where's
the fun in that?
To get started just install and run `phetch`.
It's not perfect, but I've had fun using it, and I hope you do too!
