Hello Ploum,

I have a Dec vt-220 (green) which I was hoping to use to browse the small
web. I've been finding it difficult to find small web terminal apps that would
work with it. I liked sacc for gopher over vf-1 because it wouldn't
scroll pages before you can interact with it. (large pages was a pain,
this is over a serial connection), but it lacked features I need.
I didn't find a gemini client that worked well, then while looking for alternatives to av-98 I found offpunk. Not only does it
work with gemini, gopher, finger and normal web. It has some great
features like offline mode, touring etc. I'm really enjoying this app.
Offpunk also improves on the vf-1 experience by using less and exiting
out with the current view displayed. No longer needing to memorize link
numbers as they scroll past.

I use it exclusively on the DEC. 

Something worth noting.  gopher://drkhsh.at:70/1 doesn't appear to load
with offpunk. It's the only page I've discovered so far that fails to
work. Lots of errors displayed and none of the links work.

I've cloned the git repo today and using that version. It's on OpenBSD
7.6 current. I tried it with offpunk on a modern term not on the dec,
same issue.

Regards
Dylan

Wow, that’s so cool!

Could you take a picture of Offpunk running on that DEC and sharing it 
so I can use that image? I think it would be so cool on the website.

I had a quick look and this page is particular: some "error lines" are 
starting with a TAB.

I’ve pushed a fix that hide all gopher lines starting with a TAB and it 
seems to work. I don’t know gopher enough to know if this is what should 
be done or not.

Try latest trunk.

Thanks for your message,
