I wrote a gopher web server in uxntal!
(disclaimer: run at your own risk, see below)

introducing… gopher-serv.tal :D

it's the bare minimum: no automatic directory listings, no error pages, and sandboxing is enforced by the emulator(!!)

but what it does have, is 201 bytes of gopher-serving goodness :D

src: https://codeberg.org/notchoc/gopher-serv.tal
emu: https://codeberg.org/notchoc/uxn2
run: uxn2 -N gopher-serv.rom ADDRESS

!!! DISCLAIMER: DO NOT EXPOSE THIS TO THE INTERNET !!! UXN2 DOES NOT HAVE SANDBOXING (YET) AND ALSO I DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEES ABOUT SECURITY

Alt...

my gopher client viewing the uxntal source code of this gopher server

when i run gopher.rom on macos, i can't get any responses...

is that expected? seems some network issues.

i'm new to uxn. could you please help to debug it?

$ cd gopher.tal
$ git reflog
a9188d4 (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) HEAD@{0}: clone: from https://codeberg.org/notchoc/gopher.tal.git
$ uxn2 drifblim.rom main.tal gopher.rom
$ uxn2 gopher.rom

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

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!
