I do admit that you've nearly convinced me that 40 chars is easiest forreaders, even though I'm not sure if it's best if we consider authors, too. > Then again, making text/gemini easy to write with "normal" editors > arguably isn't worth much if the next step is anyway "now use sftp or a > git push to get your content on the server". In my experience, though, hard-wrapping text doesn't work well with gitanyway. And I don't know of any text editors that re-hard-wrap automaticallywhen the beginning of a paragraph is edited. Maybe gemini files could be authored in either wrapped or unwrapped format,then the server could hard-wrap intelligently before sending it to thereader? Would that be bad practice? Cheers!
