(FWIW, if you wanted to sell me on it, I still don't fully understand the point of it. Kind of seemed like reinventing HTTP..?)

in reply to Chris Were ⁂🐧🌱☕ • •@Chris Were ⁂🐧🌱☕ On and off.
I've been wanting to build a thing that lets me simultaneously host www, gemini, and gopher from a single source, but life (and my ADHD brain) keeps getting in the way of that.
I've also been playing with reticulum.

in reply to Chris Were ⁂🐧🌱☕ • • •I voted "no" because I haven't used the *protocol* in a while, but my personal site still uses gemtext. And I'll likely add it to my #Nytt tool soon.
I use it like markdown, and if your HTTP(S) browser requests gemtext (or doesn't explicitly prefer HTML) it'll give it to you. for example, `curl`:

in reply to Chris Were ⁂🐧🌱☕ • • •I'm still using it. More for reading than posting, but it is really nice slow-web. Text written for the sole purpose of being available to read. Personal, non-commercial, thoughtful stuff. HTML doesn't offer the same quiet isolation as Gemini.
