132 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op Telescope is written entirely for fun, as a hobbystic project in
133 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op my free time. As such, it lacks a ton of features you’ll find
134 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op in more mature Gemini browsers, but it also has some unique
138 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op The UI is strongly inspired from Emacs and W3M, so you’ll find
139 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op some familiar concepts, such as the minibuffer or the tabline,
140 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op and the default keybindigs also reflect this, but keys familiar
141 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op for vi and CUA users are also present by default.
