Basically the issue is -- a common use case would be for someone to want to link another flounder page from their page, for example I might link my friend juliet.flounder.online's page from alex.flounder.online. A user who is using Flounder through a web app may use the link https://juliet.flounder.online which isn't ideal when accessing it through gemini, since the link brings them out of Gemini. I think the solution is to instruct users to use gemini:// links for other Flounder pages (and maybe put something in the UI that encourages this) and then convert gemini://x.flounder.online to https://x.flounder.online when rendering it over https (right now I use the mozz.us proxy). I could also force this translation by modifying users' text when they save a file with an https://x.flounder.online link but I'm not a fan of that. Maybe I could create some sort of warning that explains this, or even better I could come up with a way to let people use simple tags like @alex and then translate that into a gemini URL on gemini or an https url on https. ?> The twtxt protocol sounds cool, and good addition to the small web. I think there was a discussion earlier in the mailing list that inspired my idea! > Finally, you should check out gemlog.blue if you haven't already, on > the Web and Gemini.

I'll definitely have to glean some ideas from this Alex -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
