                                I've been working on a little something for the past few days, and it's finally usable :D

                                ![media-1]

                                introducing…. gopher.tal!
                                https://codeberg.org/notchoc/gopher.tal
                                it's a lightweight (~3.2kb) gopher client that tries to be as unsurprising as possible

                                features:

                                • clickable and tab-focusable links
                                • keyboard scroll and screen resize
                                • support for gopher-search
                                • special port numbers (still gotta speak gopher)

                                would you be better off using w3m/bopher? probably

                                is this still a web browser written in assembly? hell yeah!
