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.
19 => telescope.1.MANEXT documentation
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.
23 => gemini://warp.geminispace.club/~freezr/gemlog/2022-09-02-telescope-logo.gmi The awesome logo was made by freezr!

35 Source code and precompiled binaries for linux are available:
37 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz
39 => https://git.omarpolo.com/?index_page=&path=telescope.git&action=summary git repository
40 => https://codeberg.org/op/telescope/ Codeberg mirror
41 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope GitHub mirror
43 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8/telescope.amd64 telescope.amd64
48 * libtls (from either LibreSSL or libretls)
51 Once all the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:
53 ```Example of how to compile from source
54 $ curl -LO https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz
55 $ tar xzvf telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz
59 $ sudo make install # eventually
62 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.
64 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/SHA256 SHA256
65 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/SHA256.sig SHA256.sig
66 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.8.pub telescope-0.8.pub
67 => https://github.com/omar-polo/telescope/releases/download/0.8.1/telescope-0.9.pub telescope-0.9.pub
69 ```Example of how to verify the signature with signify
70 $ signify -C -p telescope-0.8.pub -x SHA256.sig
72 telescope-0.8-binaries.tar.gz: OK
73 telescope-0.8.1.tar.gz: OK
