Alhena Custom Page Styles
Alhena 5.3.2 just went live and features custom page styles and "drag to scroll" for touchscreen users.
These aren't your dad's custom page styles. Check out my gemlog entry for details and screenshots.
You can get Alhena on GitHub or here:

Giving this Gemini browser a try, it's pretty nice so far.
Since you are building for Mac any chance of making an iOS interface?

@pista Apple forbids runtimes like Java on iOS. I did a quick search and there aren't any good options. There is CheerpJ which transpiles Java into JS so it can run in a browser. I've used it and it's actually pretty cool but it's stuck at Java 8 (Alhena could probably be backported but that's a lot of work).
One possibility would be running it in Docker on a remote server and then accessing the app via a browser. I have an Alhena image on Docker Hub. Hmm. I might see how it works on my wife's iPad.

@pista I can confirm Alhena runs on an iPad via a browser and a local server running the Docker image. Drag to scroll works just fine for touchscreen scrolling. If there's a VNC client for iOS, it would likely run even better.
It's not ideal and I'd be surprised if anyone will even try to do this but I found it to be completely usable. If I was so inclined, I'd run the image via Docker on my always on Raspberry Pi 5. You can even use a local truststore for your client certs.
