Way back in the 90s I discovered gopher. It was magical, like some difficult to navigate, decaying place hidden from a web going corporate even back then. The problem I had with it was I couldn’t find anything of use.
Now, looking at gemini, I get the same vibe. It has the same magical promise.
What do you use gemini for? For information or just browsing around? Do you want to create a blog or other content? Why in gemini and not on the web?
It’s an ultra minimal protocol for transporting simple hypertext documents. You’ve got links, headers, preformatted text, lists and quotes. That’s it. No videos, no (inline) images, no input forms, not even formatting.
I see, how do you find a Gemini server to browse about? Oddly difficult to find.
