# Gemini-related links and stuff

I'm not going to duplicate the awesome links and info already on Medusae and Gemini Discovery - these are just things that I personally found useful.

(this tipped me over the edge to get started)

## Clients

* Graphical clients - I tried out Kristall for a bit, it was pretty nifty and great for getting started in Gemini. But once I dipped my toes into the water, I kinda wanted something with a bit more functionality, which wasn't really what I was getting in Kristall.

* Elpher -I love how it integrated with emacs, and it had great functionality. Not sure about tabs, it wasn't a real issue for me. However, it didn't have a feed subscription function.

* Amfora - that's why I moved on to Amfora. So far, so good.
I hate the dark colour scheme, though, and I changed it to a light background. The only problem is that the help text (and any .txt stuff) still turns out as white against the light background. Despite me going into the config file and setting everything referring to text colour as black, it still turned out white. So, I just copied and pasted the keybinding info on my newtab page.
Apart from that, pretty happy with it so far.
edit: oh wait, there are themes! Will check them out.

further edit: applied a light theme and the same issue occurs. Have compensated by getting a medium-ish background colour that works with dark and white text.

## Writing
I'm posting on sdf.org - I have some limited experience with Linux but I'm still completely new to the whole thing of doing this on a remote server. I'm not an ARPA member yet, so I can't transfer files. I think the only option open to me right now is actually writing files directly on the server?
There are some basic editors here and they're okay, but I do miss my local setup.

Maybe it's time to go ARPA ;p
