    I’m just trying to wrap my brain around what the use case for this is. I see the author referencing that it would be good for text only things such as poetry and recipes, but why would it be -better enough- for those things that users will use it over (or in conjunction with) http? What’s going to bring users over to Gemini aside from curiousity? There’s nothing that says a web page can’t be straightforward text, and switching to a new protocol that requires an entirely different browser is only reducing your potential audience.

    I want to grok the why of this, but I feel like I’m missing some key bit of information.

      Big part is ablility to write your own client. Web (as in stuff you would need to implement) is way too big to ever see a new client developed.
