So glad to see the actual Gemini here instead of the modern AI horror most of the people think about when hearing Gemini.


Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

Good to know! Thanks.


You’re so glad that, rather than discuss it, you redirect the conversation back to Google’s Gemini?


Plus glad to see it call "Gemini" instead of "Gemini Protocol", too bad google stole the name after Gemini was a thing. And unlike gopher, Gemini renders fine on Cell Phones.

As I mentioned before in these threads, I find Gemini far easier to maintain then anything associated with html. It is very simple. I had moved my WEB space to Gemini on sdf* a while ago and my old WEB space points to my Gemini Site.

FWIW, google forced Gemini to change its URLs, it is now:

https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/gemtext-specification.gmi

and the FAQ, the article has the old URL

https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi

* sdf:

https://wiki.sdf.org/doku.php?id=gemini_site_setup_and_hosti...

List of clients are here:

> too bad google stole the name after Gemini was a thing

Gemini was one of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd century AD astronomer Ptolemy


From the Wiki page the formatting capabilities to me look too limiting. How about tables? Are nested (numbered/bulleted) lists a thing?


>From the Wiki page the formatting capabilities to me look too limiting

That is the point of Gemini, simplicity :) That is why I like it.

>Now about tables? Are nested (numbered/bulleted) lists a thing?

No and no. If you need those, there is the WEB. Gemini is not a html replacement but a simple protocol.
