gemini://midnight.pub/posts/2358

It's exciting to finally be posting to Midnight Pub. I like to do a bit of creative writing sometimes and I think this will be a great place to read some great prose from others and make connections.

There’s a paragraph on a page that I need to remove temporarily. It would be easier to just collect it out like I would in HTML. Then I can restore it quickly when it’s needed again. Is it not possible?

Hi guys!

So I recently discovered gemini and I just love it. Currently working on a browser application for Android, but in the meantime I was curious how this cgi hosting works, so I sketched up quickly a small blogging system in Python.

You just put your gmi files inside a folder, config gemBlog and it lists them, categorized by date (year and month).

https://github.com/eocorekuneho/gemBlog

It's not great code by any means, but it was fun to scribble it down.

You can see it in action (with not much and random testing content in hungarian...) here:

gemini://furryhu.org/cgi-bin/gemblog/

It is now hardwired to the environment variables Jetforce uses, but with minimal editing, I think it can be used with other server application.

Anyway, have a nice day!

Gemalaya is a keyboard-driven Gemini browser.

I started this project because i didn't find a gemini browser that could be controlled mainly from the keyboard (just recently learned about vimini ..). Gemalaya uses the levior web-to-gemini proxy, so you can also use it to browse regular webpages. It can play multimedia files and supports text-to-speech and text translations.

levior (latin word meaning lighter) is a web (HTTP/HTTPs) to Gemini proxy.

It converts web pages on-the-fly to the gemtext format, allowing you to browse regular web pages with any Gemini browser without having to suffer the heavyness associated with certain technologies of the modern web.

levior supports Javascript rendering and can therefore be used to browse dynamic websites.

levior also supports serving other types of content, like ZIM files (the archive format used by Wikipedia), making it possible to browse complete wikis through Gemini.

As of the posting of this announcement, the new geminiprotocol.net domain is the official home of Project Gemini. If you're reading this, you are already here! Welcome! As per the plan outlined in previous announcements, the CAPCOM aggregator and the SFTP user hosting at gemini.circumlunar.space remain at their old addresses. They are no longer official parts of the project, but are part of what I hope will be a growing range of services provided to Geminispace by various folks in the Circumlunar Space community, not just me. The new geminiprotocol.net domain hosts the protocol specification, all the official documentation, the news feed and project history.

I believe the FAQ, project history and other documents have had all links to and mentions of the old domain name updated to reflect the move, but if you happen to find something I have missed, please let me know!

Redirects will very shortly be put in place for all HTTPS URLs and for all Gemini URLs except the index page. Prominent notices with links to the new address will be put in place at the old address's Gemini index page and main Gopher menu. As such, nobody ought to get lost, and existing links, bookmarks and subscriptions ought not to break. That said, having to follow redirects all the time decreases the perceived responsiveness of the capsule, and makes the new server dependent upon the old server being online. For this reason, I would like to politely but strongly urge anybody and everybody who has published documents (on any protocol!) or software which links to parts of the official project capsule to update those links. This is a big task, because the official capsule is probably the most commonly linked to host in all of Geminispace, and it's inevitable that some links will not be updated. Nevertheless I am hopeful that a relatively small number of links are by far the most frequently followed, and that those can be updated. In the coming days I will be reaching out to people who I think can help make this happen, but please feel extremely free to beat me to the punch!

I appreciate that for some people this probably seems like a needlessly disruptive change for relatively little benefit, but this change is important to me and has been on the cards for a long, long time, and I beg your indulgence!

Hi everyone. I discovered gemini a day ago (although I used gopher back in the day), and am trying to start exploring it.

Can anyone recommend capsules (is this the correct term for user pages?) about physics and probability theory? or capsules that provide indices about these topics? In the long run I'd like to contribute too.

Thank you very much!

Kind of browsing gemini on the PDA :). I'm converting a subset of gemini pages for offline browsing with Plucker on the Palm.

I like how the midnight pub allows people to leave comments at the bottom of articles.

Are there any other gem servers which allow replies don't depend upon coding knowledge? I just do basic hosting on Arch.

I'm hopingt to allow general replies, like geddit.

Another video by tomasino that covers basic setup with client cert authentication.

I had to modify a bit for SCGI usage but generally works the same.

Tomasino posted a couple more videos. This one helped me understand basic user inputs.

Anyone else not able to get to circumlunar?

It took me a while but I figured out SCGI for molly-brown. This page helped quite a bit: //gemini.bunburya.eu/gemlog/posts/2021-04-07-dynamic-content-scgi-gemini.gmi

Now to implement something.

Side note, I've been spending quite a bit of time there...it's nice.
