A graphical gopher browser in racket/gui.
Icon courtesy of tiwesdaeg.
My aim is to create a decent gopher client suitable for daily use without resorting to web technologies. No HTML nor CSS under the hood.
This project is still a work in progress, expect occasional breakage. Patches and feedback welcome.

Install Racket, then run:
% racket src/main.rkt [--tls] [address]
(Running % raco make src/main.rkt beforehand can make it launch faster.)
If you don’t want to install Racket, you can fetch a binary release (might be outdated) and run it:
% bin/gophwr [--tls] [address]
To configure it, copy the example config file to your Racket preferences directory. See more on the wiki.
You can install it directly to your local Racket setup:
% raco pkg install --user git://github.com/erkin/gophwr.git
Alternatively, if you’re using the Nix package manager, simply run
% nix-build
in the repo and it will build a package for you.
