2024-01-12 Fri 19:34 Yupa the multiprotocol CLI browser with tabs
More and more I have this feeling that is stronger than me. If there
is a software that I need and I'm able to write it myself than I have
to do it. That's the law now!
Some time ago I joined tilde.pink that gives me Gopher hole and Gemini
capsule. Since then I was in great need of client that can gracefully
handle both protocols and OFC I like to use CLI above all else. Such
software was within reach of my skills and ambitions. Brain got out
of control working on ideas for a new project without my permission or
conscious involvement. It was only a matter of time before I start
procrastinating programming new software.
Two or three days after initial idea I started coding. When I start
there is only one way to break free. I have to finish the project.
Otherwise it will hunt me [1].
Today I released Yupa v2.0 [2]. It's the CLI browser with tabs that
handles multiple protocols but at the moment supports only the basics
of Gopher and Gemini. Which is what I needed. I will extend and
enhance it, that's certain. But as for now I consider it DONE.
Finally I can navigate both my Gopher [3] and Gemini [4] spaces in
single CLI client with full control over the behavior.
It's perfect.
