README
# About Geopard
Geopard is a GTK 4 Gemini client written in Rust.
## Some notable features
- Colors!
The browser will have a different color for each domain you visit.
- Fast (async core + caching):
Streams content by default. That means you can open pages even when you have
connection speeds of Kb/s.
It also caches pages in the history, so you can go back/forward in an instant
- Can download binary files:
The download will start as soon as you open the corresponding link.
You can always cancel it by opening another page.
- It works. Until I find another bug...
## Technical details
Under the hood, it uses GTK 4 and Rust. Everything related to IO is asynchronous.
To do that, it makes use of Rust's async/await capabilities and the async-std crate.
## How to change settings
You should find the configuration files in ~/.config/geopard/
If you use flatpak, they are in ~/.var/app/com.ranfdev.Geopard/config/geopard/.
In the future I will probably introduce a settings GUI.
## How to build
### With Flatpak
If you have gnome-builder installed, use it to the open the folder of the source
code and hit the run button.
### Build with Nix
If you have the
=> https://nixos.org/ nix
package manager and flakes enabled, you can simply do:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/ranfdev/Geopard.git
nix build
./result/bin/geopard
```

- gtk4
- glib
