Project Goals

-------------

The goal of this project is to create a client that attracts people to the Gopher community, and entices them to _stay for the ride_:

- [x] Suggest the most active Gopher communities to get started

- [x] Make it easy to search the Gopherspace and start exploring

- [ ] Aggregate phlogs into feeds to help following creators and giving them a bigger audience

- [ ] Curate the best and most active Gopherholes

- [ ] Figure out a way to let users interact with creators, or show them support, without changing the Gopher experience

- [ ] Show engaging media inline, if desired

It aims to provide features that are _unique_ to the Gopher experience:

- [x] Multi-column drill-down navigation like Finder

- [x] View pages as folders and files

- [ ] Inline and tree navigation like Explorer

- [ ] Keyboard and number-based navigation

And of course, all of the features that we have come to expect:

- [x] Tabs

- [x] Browsing history

- [x] Recently visited pages

- [x] Aggressive caching

- [x] Downloads

- [x] Combined search and address bar

- [x] A welcome and start page

- [ ] User bookmarks

- [ ] Theming & Dark Mode

- [ ] Deep link support (for all platforms)

- [ ] Full drag and drop capabilities

- [ ] Extensions for new Gopher types and Rendering modes

- [ ] Security via TLS
