[ANN] Lagrange - A Beautiful Gemini Client

[Kevin Sangeelee]

This is really nicely done, looks and feels fantastic. A couple of points:

For some reason, the opengl renderer was really messing up my display
(needed to switch to console and back to recover, even after quitting
lagrange). Recompiled with the software renderer, and it works beautifully.
I was running a Debian guest on a Windows 7 VirtualBox host.

The auto-enlarging of the first paragraph, while it looks nice, is jarring
with the reading of my docs.

The block-quotes text doesn't really stand out as a block quote to my eyes.

Please disregard my previous comment on GUS and redirects, it also works
fine for me.

Regardless, lovely work. Thanks!

Kevin
