LR-87: A Pure-Fortran Gemini Client

LR-87 is a fun Gemini client implementation written entirely in Fortran and available for most any system with a modern Fortran compiler. Two renderers are available in source code:

Dumb Renderer: which assumes you're using a dumb terminal (e.g. 80x24)

Windows Renderer: which presents a graphical browser

LR-87 does not support client certificates because... well, it doesn't. That doesn't really seem to be much of a problem at this time, though, aside from some gimmicky sites.

LR-87 can be compiled from source if you visit:

But if you want a binary...

For Linux

LR-87 is available as a Snap:

It will not be distributed any other way because it is a chore otherwise.

For Windows

LR-87 is available in the Windows Store:

An unsigned executable is available below:

I'm considering a Windows Store submission, but I'm not sure it works well enough for that.
