This is the second time that I've had a gemlog. The first was wiped out due to a hard drive failure and it has just taken me some time to get back to it. I've been using Gemini for quite some time, inspired originally by a post that Drew Devault made on the subject. I had around that time forked the Castor browser and added a number of features including tabs and what I though was more pleasing rendering.

Since that time my coding has progressed quite a ways. My current two projects, GemView and Eva, are both in Rust leveraging Gtk4. GemView is a library, which provides a gemini (and gopher, finger, etc) browser widget for gtk4, while Eva is the browser built around that widget. I think they're useful, and becoming more so all of the time. I'll probably post about those projects here as much as anything.

That's all for now.
