PalmGemPlucker

Palm PDB generator for reading Gemini offline with Plucker for Palm OS

Wanting to read the new old web (Gemini) on your old newly revived Palm OS device? This tool takes a list of your favorite gemini sites and spits out corresponding Plucker PDB files which you can use to read them offline on your Palm OS device.

Prerequisites to have installed on your system

• pcre2grep (Ubuntu users can install it with apt-get install pcre2-utils)
• git
• pilot-xfer to transfer the generated PDB files

Setup

Get the script:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/captaintouch/palmGemPlucker/main/palmGemPlucker.sh
chmod +x palmGemPlucker.sh

Open up the script and configure your favorite gemsites along with your device info (port used for pilot-xfer and device width)

Once configured, just run ./palmGemPlucker.sh from the path where you installed it

Thanks
