17 Telescope is written entirely for fun, as a hobbystic project in my free time.  As such, it lacks a ton of features you’ll find in more mature Gemini browsers, but it also has some unique ones.

21 The UI is strongly inspired from Emacs and W3M, so you’ll find some familiar concepts, such as the minibuffer or the tabline, and the default keybindigs also reflect this, but care has been taken to add keys familiar for vi and CUA users too.

31 => REPOLOGY_URL Some distros provide a package — thanks to the maintainers!
32 
33 Source code and precompiled binaries for linux are available:
34 
35 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz

43 The dependencies are:
44 * libncurses
45 * libevent
46 * libtls (from either LibreSSL or libretls)
47 * yacc (or GNU bison)
48 
49 Once all the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:
50 
51 ```Example of how to compile from source
52 $ curl -LO https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz
53 $ tar xzvf telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz
54 $ cd telescope-0.8.1
55 $ ./configure
56 $ make
57 $ sudo make install # eventually
58 ```
59 
60 A SHA256 file containing the checksums is available.  However, that only checks for accidental corruption: you can use signify (SHA256.sig and the public key telescope-0.8.pub).  The hash of the current and next signify public key is also included in the SHA256.

66 
67 ```Example of how to verify the signature with signify
68 $ signify -C -p telescope-0.8.pub -x SHA256.sig
