Summary: As another year starts it seems like a good time to revisit the options one has in Geminispace, comparing a bunch of decent Gemini clients (like Web browsers but for gemini://)

"My son and I have been experimenting with #gopher and #gemini," said this person the other day. "As a browser, we are most often using #lagrange," he added.

There seems to be a lot of consolidation among users around Amfora and Lagrange [1, 2], so few have paid attention to Telescope [1, 2] in the command line (a much lighter alternative to Amfora, and one that does not use Rust) and Moonlander for a GUI. Both projects aren't being developed anymore, maybe due to a lack of broad userbase, but there are signs of revival in Telescope. Kristall and Bollux are demonstrated in this video from last year, but the above video of ours does not cover them because I never used them. All in all I tried more than half a dozen Gemini clients and it's hard to recommend just one because it depends on the user and the sorts of needs one has (e.g. RAM available, access to images, tabbing etc.) and the platform one uses. For me, personally, Lagrange is something I can settle and stay with. It seems to have the most features and its developer 'gets' software freedom. ⬆
