There are many amazing projects and alternative front-ends strewn about the gopherverse, some of which can completely eliminate the dependency on their plain-web versions.

There are also holes that provide tools unique to gopher.

Let's make this thread an on the fly database of front-ends, services and useful tools.

I'm just getting it spun up and off the ground, using a fork of gophernicus I've been tinkering with.

Are you stranded with just your basic Unix toolkit? No internet browser? No gopher client? Use netcat!

echo "/directory/file" | nc domain.name port

For example:

To view tilde.institute root goohermap: echo / | nc tilde.institute 70

or to get a .txt file from: occ.deadnet.se in /users/how.txt

echo /users/how.txt | nc occ.deadnet.se 70

My main frustration with the phlogosphere is that it's not trivial to comment or discuss a phlog entry by other means that the web (which we all despise, right?)

There are solutions of course, but I find them inconvenient:

  • emails
  • instant messaging (IRC/matrix/...)
  • /7/ item trick
  • ???

What's your take on that ?
