GemiNaut is a user friendly GUI client for the Gemini protocol by Luke Emmet. It aims to provide a comfortable and user friendly experience of Gemini on MS Windows.
In many ways it behaves just like a normal web browser, except it is for viewing gemini:// pages.
Gopher and "Small web" (document centric) websites are also supported.
Gemini is a protocol and text format designed to radically simplify the experience of writing and sharing hypertext content on the Internet, without all the javascript, cookies, user tracking, inconsistent UI and slow performance of many websites. I suppose you already know this since you're using Gemini right now.

The default Fabric theme provides an attractive rendering of each site, including per-user sites on the same server. Each site has its own unique place-marker and background, as if the content were cleanly laid out over a tablecloth or fabric. This site specific theming helps considerably in finding your way around as you travel between sites. You can click on a link and recognise you have arrived at a familiar place.
The following screenshots show the Fabric theme in use - each site has its own unique look that is recognisable and persistent.
A variable width font dark theme - colours inspired by dark themes used in code editors.
Plain and simple, white background and black text
For all the terminal junkies out there, who wish they could always live on the command line.
