Yep. I moved my blog from a static site generator to Gemini. I mean, its basically my site now. I love not having to depend on a theme and the clutter and bloat of HTML+CSS+JS. Like, my stuff is just plain Gemtext tied together with index.gmi files. I'm eventually gonna try to get more blind people into it, because it's so easy to write. And WinSCP is such a great and easy program to connect to the tilde that I'm a part of, so I can just use that almost like Tramp in Emacs, just open, write, save, and boom, content! I mean I know I can just do Nano on the remote server but the cursor lag is just enough to make me nervous that my screen reader would get confused.
