Hi Geminauts, Splitting the daily navigation across HTTP and Gemini is becoming frustrating, I'd like to do everything inside the Geminspace... I am not a programmer and often I just dream about unrealistic thing but I toss this idea here... Since we have, at least in the *nix world, a lot of TUI web browser, I wonder if it would be feasible/possible creating a kind of local server proxy that convert on the fly the page from html to gemini, let's call it Geminator. I have my fantastic Geminator runtime as background process and in my Gemini client I write something like: gemini://localhost/geminator/www.phoronix.com Let's that we can decide which back-end using (e.g. w3m, elinks, etc...) this would be the process in my dream: 1. I do the request to Geminator; 2. Geminator passes the request to w3m; 3. w3m renders and buffers the page and passes it to Geminator; 4. Geminator translates the page into a Gemini one (trying to convert also links in Geminator readable links); 5. Geminator send the page back to my client; 6. I am happily browsing Internet from my favorite Gemini client. For sure it won't be perfect, it will also behaves weirdly, but I think it would be enough to navigate pages like for instance phoronix, or other news pages, some federated social networks, etc... Well I wrote it, I hope to not be banned from the mailing list... :D TGL
