16 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.
18 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.

22 ## Install
24 => https://repology.org/project/telescope/versions Some distros provide a package — thanks to the maintainers!
26 Source code and precompiled binaries for linux are available:
28 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz
30 => https://git.omarpolo.com/telescope/ git repository
31 => https://codeberg.org/op/telescope/ Codeberg mirror
32 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope GitHub mirror
34 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8/telescope.amd64 telescope.amd64
36 The dependencies are:
37 * libncurses
38 * libevent
39 * libtls (from either LibreSSL or libretls)
40 * yacc (or GNU bison)
42 Once all the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:
44 ```Example of how to compile from source
45 $ curl -LO https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz
46 $ tar xzvf telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz
47 $ cd telescope-0.8.1
48 $ ./configure
49 $ make
50 $ sudo make install # eventually
51 ```
53 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.

56 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/SHA256.sig SHA256.sig
57 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.8.pub telescope-0.8.pub
58 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.9.pub telescope-0.9.pub
60 ```Example of how to verify the signature with signify
61 $ signify -C -p telescope-0.8.pub -x SHA256.sig
62 Signature Verified
63 telescope-0.8-binaries.tar.gz: OK
64 telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz: OK
65 telescope-0.8.pub: OK
66 telescope-0.9.pub: OK
67 telescope.amd64: OK
