Is there other non-web streamable UI software besides gopher?
There's also Gemini, which is like a modern version of Gopher.
Gemini seems to be the land of broken clients. I tried amfora recently, and it gave a fatal error. I futzed around with other clients in the past, and they all seemed to have problems of their own.
I suggest trying Lagrange https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange
