Cameron (Floodgap) pointed me to here. I had no idea there was a mailing list like this, so I am not up to date on Gopher developments by the community. I've been obsessed by the Gopher protocol for about a year now and wanted to learn developing JavaFX apps in Java, so that was a good combination. Therefore, I've stared working on a Gopher GUI client. I've posted an early screenshot on Twitter: https://twitter.com/vintzend/status/683710791271497728 (yes I should have posted it on my gopherspace too, will do soon). Note that I didn't spend much time on the layout out yet, I first want the thing to be stable. Right now the GUI-stuff works (tabs, back/next....) and I am adding support for more and more Gopher items (right now menu and text files are working), I plan to add as much gopher types as I can. Other features that I've planned are good bookmark management, keeping history and I'll do my best to make it highly configurable. I know Java is not popular on the desktop anymore, but I believe it'll be possible to release executables for Windows and Mac (not sure of Linux), not really looked into that yet. I plan to release the source on GitHub, once I have ironed out some bugs. Let me know if you have ideas for new features or want to share your opinion.
