Starfish is a graphical client for the Gemini protocol built with GTK and Vala. The main goal of the project is to provide a native elementary OS application for reading Gemini sites, that will make the protocol more accessible to users. Read more on the project's Gemini page: gemini://josipantolis.from.hr/starfish/.
Starfish is in active development. It currently supports the prerelease version of the Gemini specification, including gemtext rendering and client certificates. Starfish can be used to view images and download other file types. There are still many improvements and new features that could be added to the app. For a list of current development plans check out GitHub issues.
Starfish is packaged with Flatpak and published on elementary OS AppCenter. If you are running some other Linux distribution you can download the flatpakref file from elementary repo and install it either using a graphical package manager, or from terminal with:
flatpak install --from ./hr.from.josipantolis.starfish.flatpakrefStarfish is built for elementary OS 6. All prerequisites can be met by installing elementary-sdk and gtkspell:
sudo apt install elementary-sdk
sudo apt install libgtkspell3-3-devFor a full list of dependencies check out the dependencies list in the meson.build file.
To build and install the app execute (from project's root directory):
meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja
sudo ninja installAfter performing meson build you can run tests from inside build directory with:
meson testAfter adding user facing strings, remember to wrap them _("like so"), from inside the build directory execute:
ninja hr.from.josipantolis.starfish-pot
ninja hr.from.josipantolis.starfish-update-poStarfish is packaged with Flatpak and based on io.elementary.Platform runtime. In order to build it locally you may need to install the runtime first:
flatpak install --user io.elementary.Sdk//7After that you can build and install Starfish itself with:
flatpak-builder build hr.from.josipantolis.starfish.yml --user --install --force-cleanAnd run it with:
flatpak run hr.from.josipantolis.starfishCopyright © 2021 Josip Antoliš, [email protected].
