Description:
Today's Port of the Week is about Lagrange, a gemini web browser.

Lagrange is the finest browser I ever used and it's still brand new. I
imported it into OpenBSD and so it will be available starting from
OpenBSD 6.9 releases.

Lagrange is fantastic in the way it helps the user with the content
browsed.
* Links already visited display the last visited date
* Subscription on page without RSS is possible for pages respecting a
specific format (most of gemini space does)
* Easy management of client certificates, used for authentication
* In-page image loading, video watching and sound playing
* Gopher support
* Table of content displayed generated from headings
* Keyboard navigation
* Very light (dependencies, memory footprint, cpu usage)
* Smooth scrolling
* Dark and light modes
* Much more
If you are interested into Gemini, I highly recommend this piece of
software as a browser.
In case you would like to host your own Gemini content without
requiring infrastructure, some community servers are offering hosting
through secure sftp transfers.

Once you get into Gemini space, I recommend the following resources:
