Work continues on my terminal-based Gemini client. So far today I've done a bunch of work on tweaking the presentation of a site, improving some of the widgets that go into the on-screen document. I've also added the start of a history system. So now it's easy to navigate backwards and forwards between pages.

While there's still a lot of work that I want to do on it, I feel that with the addition of this feature, it might be close to time for me to make it public. It's going well and heading in the right direction, so it feels like the moment when I accept it's not going to be something I abandon, but now have to see to completion.

There are also some design choices I've made this time around that have made me want to revisit Hike at some point in the future. Not for a while yet, but I want to go back and clean up some of the code. After AI-based coding I've been doing lately, it's really nice to be hands-on again and designing every single line. It's a good reminder that working this way ensures a much bigger-picture view of how an application hangs together, and how it can benefit other applications you're maintaining.
