TRENDY SMART PHONE GOPHER BROWSER I don't want a trendy smart phone gopher browser, I don't even really want it to exist because trendy smart phone people aren't really the audience that I want Gopher content to cater for. But I've had the thought and I might as well let it run. I love and hate everything anyway so really I can quite appreciate the fickle thoughtless minds of all the world's smart phone zombies. *Gophermaps can be rendered like one of those trendy web pages with comments displayed in a sans-serif font coloured on the absolute precipice of blending into the greyish-white background. *Links in the gophermap are displayed in darker coloured rounded rectangles spanning the width of the screen (shightly wider than the width of the comment text). Click/tap on them and text content is loaded and displayed in a drop-down box thing, pushing down the unexpanded link boxes below. Tap in it again and the box winches back on up. It's just like one of those trendy new web pages that I hate, but the content is loaded on-demand. *People "swipe" on phones, I think. "Gestures" or something, damned if I know. Anyway as well as swiping for back/forward through the history, also offer swipe down to go up the directory tree. Gopher holes generally make pretty meaningful use for the directory structure, unlike the modern web, so this could work very well. Ideally have a way to bring up a tree view of the directories and gphermap links as well. *Automatically detect ASCII-Art (shouldn't be too hard with most of it) and use a fixed-width font, maybe also scaling it to fit better with the width of the screen. I don't even own a smart phone, so don't look at me to implement this. But I think smart phone people might get into it if you did. Or not. Hell I really don't know what they want to be honest, something identical to this might have already been done and nobody cared at all. - The Free Thinker, 2020
