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](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xvxx/phetch/f1fe58d2483af1c64fa61aa46e5858b599f8e67b/img/start.png) + +----- + +`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. + +----- + +![gopher menu in phetch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xvxx/phetch/3ec5e3f4335a5fdf709b5643da8aa4d5abe70815/img/dos.png) + +----- + +`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! + +[install]: README.md#installation +[gild]: https://github.com/xvxx/gild +[floodgap]: https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/ +[mtv]: https://tedium.co/2017/06/22/modern-day-gopher-history/ + ## v0.9.1 This update improves the release system.
