I'm pleased to announce what I believe is the first forum mediated bythe Gemini protocol!

gemini://gemini-textboard.fgaz.me/

It's fairly basic for now: you can create new threads and replies, andthreads are ordered by last activity. For now all posts are keptforever, but I plan to add automatic deletion of old threads, as istradition.

Feel free to use it to talk about whatever!

The server is written in Haskell, and this textboard is actually aproof of concept for a series of libraries I'm about to release thatwill make it easy to write dynamic Gemini sites. You could call it alightweight "Gemini framework"[1].

The board and libraries' source code is not public yet. I plan toannounce them in the coming weeks once I finish polishing some stuff.

[1]: Is this an heresy? :)
