I second the addition of "twinlog" to the lexicon.

Ooh, good idea!

That's pretty cool. I don't mind either way.

Usually, I keep my gemini/gopher content to either ports of things I do on 
HTTP land (i.e; gemini://tilde.team/~khuxkm/ao3proxy/) or written content 
(i.e; gemini://tilde.team/~khuxkm/writing/, gemini://tilde.team/~khuxkm/gemlog/)

Nice! I'll be sure to check it out.

LEO's out there (gemini://tilde.team/~khuxkm/leo/), as is the code that 
runs it if you want your own (https://tildegit.org/khuxkm/molniya). Of 
course, if you want to write your own, multiple implementations is a good thing!

It's people like you who help make it so.

Just my two cents,
