About

Geopard is a browser for the Gemini protocol, that is, a lighter alternative to the web. Use Geopard to browse the space and reach hundreds of Gemini capsules! Read stories, download files, play games...

Features:

- Colors! The browser will have a different color for each domain you visit.

- Fast (async core + caching): Streams content by default. That means you can open pages even when you have connection speeds of Kb/s. It also caches pages in the history, so you can go back/forward in an instant

- Can download binary files: The download will start as soon as you open the corresponding link. You can always cancel it by opening another page.
