[ANN] Moonlander: The fanciest Gemini client in the entire solar system

[colecmac at protonmail.com]

Wow, that screenshot is looking good! I'm excited for the planned
markdown and image rendering. Feel free to send an update to us
as more features are added. Also come join us on IRC: #gemini at
tilde.chat (irc.tilde.chat is the actual server).

I will compile and try it out!
