Here is what a nice test page which @Cat made for #GopherColour looks like in a browser which doesn’t support ANSI colour escape codes. This is the new client for iOS.

If you go to Gopher://baud.baby/1/test with @solderpunk ‘s lovely #VF1 client, this renders in nice BBS style colour.

So going forward, it probably is good form to make #Gopher maps select for regular or colour. I shall try! https://mastodon.sdf.org/media/D4rLeijfghFBJWcmbw0

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@solderpunk makes the awesome #VF-1 #Gopher client.
I asked for ANSI colour escape code support on the Gopher email list a while ago and was poopooed by most...
The purists judged it couldn’t be done - that such a notion was an abomination. A heresy! 😥

But he did it; thanks to Solderpunk’s VF-1, #GopherColour is alive!
Mwahahahahahahaaaaa... 🎃🌈

This is seriously the best phlog reader out there, too. Try it!

Vertrauen is the stately flagship #bbs for the Synchronet bbs server.
Joy upon joy, they provide direct #Gopher access to many of the goodies on offer, including real time DOVE-net, Fidonet, and fsxnet boards.
I was pleased to discover these fora rather active, and with #hamradio discussions.
