Get CMS/blog hosts to support gemini; I'm thinking smaller players first but building up to WordPress, medium, etc... I don't like this. One of the main points of gemini for me is decentralization and that it is not commercial. Adding support for something like medium would slowly make it only slightly better than the web - requiring users to login after they read 3 articles, etc. I think it would be cool if we had a pretty Android & IOS app marketed as a blogging/writing platform. On the first screen it would prompt the user to select an instance where they want to register an account (in fact creating an ssh account), then it would be simply normal gemini client app. The homepage could be a feed reader, the user could write gemini markup directly in the app or they could write it as WYSIWYG. I think this way, it would be possible to get non-tech people use it. Paper
