Re: [gopher] Any webcomics fans out here?

Hi,
I like to read a few web comics from time to time. I prefer to read
when I'm away from a computer, preferably on my smartphone. My problem
is that checking for updates of my favorite webcomics is taking ages
on a smallish screen with a sluggish android web browser.
On the other hand, Overbite is working very nicely (fast!) on my
Android, therefore I came up with the idea that I will read webcomics
on my phone via gopher since now on.
All this to say that I've set up a little gopher service that grabs
automatically updates from latest webcomics I like, and allow to
browse them via gopher. If there are some webcomics freaks like me out
here, I'd love to hear what you think about this:
gopher://gopher.viste-family.net/1/comics
Not sure that sharing the code of this 'GophComix' engine would be of
any interest to the community... But if so, I might package it to make
it possible for others to reuse it for similar purposes.

Too bad that the android version of overbite do not supports
displaying images on html pages :/ Is it something that have any
chance to get improved in some future, or should I consider Overbite
on Android an 'end of life' software? :)
// complain mode off
cheers,
Mateusz

I was reading back postings on this list and noticed this message.
On my Samsung galaxy tab 3, android version 4.4.2 I am using Overbite
for Android.
... and I have no problems on displaying image on HTML-pages. It works
just great. Maybe the Android version makes a difference.
Test links that works for me;
gopher://gopher.viste.fr/h/comics/gophcomix.cgi?dilbert
gopher://gopher.viste.fr/h/comics/gophcomix.cgi?oglaf
gopher://port70.net/hnecron/THEGAME.html
And while I have the opportunity;
Thanks to Cameron Kaiser for Overbite!
Greetings,
Walter
