Gemalaya is a keyboard-driven Gemini browser.

I started this project because i didn't find a gemini browser that could be controlled mainly from the keyboard (just recently learned about vimini ..). Gemalaya uses the levior web-to-gemini proxy, so you can also use it to browse regular webpages. It can play multimedia files and supports text-to-speech and text translations.

levior (latin word meaning lighter) is a web (HTTP/HTTPs) to Gemini proxy.

It converts web pages on-the-fly to the gemtext format, allowing you to browse regular web pages with any Gemini browser without having to suffer the heavyness associated with certain technologies of the modern web.

levior supports Javascript rendering and can therefore be used to browse dynamic websites.

levior also supports serving other types of content, like ZIM files (the archive format used by Wikipedia), making it possible to browse complete wikis through Gemini.
