(This is a bit of a shameless plug, but hopefully it'll be interesting to the general discussion about gopher-like protocols and graphical browsers)

It doesn't support Gemini (just yet) but here's my take at a modern, fully-featured graphical Gopher client: https://github.com/zenoamaro/unnamed-gopher-client

I tend to spend hours browsing Gopherholes and Phlogs, but I tend to lose track of where I am. So I implemented a navigation system that I have yet to see in any other Gopher client (or web, for that matter):

- Drill-down Columnar Navigation.

It is heavily inspired by Finder's own column navigation, so if you like that, you'll be at home.

In addition, it has other features that every modern browser should have:

- A tabbed interface

- An omnibar with search capabilities (Using Veronica-2)

- Files and folders view

- Inline image previews with zooming

- Caching

I have many more ideas to contribute back to the Gopher ecosystem without losing its essence (see the roadmap), so if you want to contribute, send ideas, share your opinions, or just show support, please let me know! I hope you like it!
