[ANN] Lagrange - A Beautiful Gemini Client

[Emma Humphries]

Jaakko, 

This is absolutely gorgeous. 

I had no trouble building it on Ubuntu Focal Fossa after installing prerequisites (add Cmake to that list.) 

I've enclosed a screenshot. 

I could not reproduce Peter's error when going to gus.guru.

It is called "Lagrange", and me being a visual/gamedev kind of guy one of the main goals is to make it an aesthetically pleasing app. At the moment, I have binaries available for Windows and macOS, and a source tarball for compiling on Linux.

To keep the app as portable and small as possible, it's written in C and doesn't depend on existing UI frameworks. Instead, SDL2 is used for low-level graphics/input and the rest is built on top of that. TLS is provided by OpenSSL.
