By testing client, found that some BBS URLs like bbs.geminispace.org/notif/* does one redirect, is this is required to update notification state or the bug? Just for a note.

That is by design. The /notif/ links change the state of the notification from Unread to Read, so they automatically disappear from the dashboard.

spent hours by finding the bug in client, until understand this redirect producing by server :)

You are writing a gemini client? Which language are you using? I'm just interested

@meidam Rust, GTK with Glib oriented backend (sockets including)

I wrote some prototypes in PHP and C++ before but finally switched to memory safe implementation as woried about my experience. Maybe C lang would better for GTK app, anyway, here is the link if you're interested in yet:

Okay, pretty cool. There are likely some people who whould be happy to have a good gtk app to use in their gnome desktop environment. Hopefully you keep working on it ;)

I have been working on a CLI client for the spartan protocol as a project to learn zig. It's at a stand still currently, but I would really like to continue on it.

Will probably add gemini support at some point, when I figure out self signed certificates tls through tcp on zig. I have also considered making a TUI interface with ncurses at some point.
