+# Amfora [console]
+Not gonna lie, besides from AV-98 and Bombadillo it's a really (really) good client , even though it supports just Gemini haha, but well the post title's says it's specific to that right? 
+
+# AV-98 [console]
+I have no words for this *awesome* Gemini client , I tried it out today on gemini.circumlunar.space's kiosk , and it's just fucking nice.
+
+# Bombadillo [console]
+Same as above , but also has Vim-like keybindings and it's written in Go. 
+Just like Amfora , but also supports the Gopher protocol. 
+
+# Castor [graphical]
+Unironically the first Gemini client I ever tried, compiling it from source was a fucking pain from the very start, because it's written in Rust, and the UI in general is meh, so I'd probably won't touch it again. 
+It even crashed my laptop once on runtime.
+
+# Diohsc [console]
+I tried out this console client written in Haskell since 2021-06-22.
+It took me a while to build from source though.
+I've yet to get used to it but overall it's really nice.
+I've even made an APKBUILD for it, and it also works just fine (Update: it doesn't work anymore).
+
+# Fafi [graphical]
+I've found this client written in Racket (looks like a Lisp or a Scheme per its website)
+which is well, okay-ish, aside from the fact it looked so off with my setup because I don't have any GTK+ themes (it uses GTK+2 to my surprise)
+
+# Fossil [graphical]
+This client is a fork of the well-known Dragonstone by the koyu.space folks , it's also as awesome as Lagrange , and supports the Finger protocol as well. 
+Its name may be confusing to some because there is a version control system software of the same name.
+
+# Kristall [graphical]
+This is by far, after Lagrange of course, one of the best graphical Gemini (and Gopher) clients out there.
+I used to use it on my current host and it's really good, I can even customize the style of the pages and such. 
+It also supports HTTP (but with less feature set because the current status of the WWW itself is just insane)
+
+# Lagrange [graphical]
+Lives up to its slogan, it's awesomeness knows no end. 
+I had it installed on my host but apparently Alpine's upstream package has issues so building from source is the only option, though the version I self-built myself did work. 
+Weird isn't it? haha
+
+Update #1: Updated the post a bit, added another client. Also haven't edited this in a heck of a long time, lol.
