I am currently using molly-brown as my server software, though I willmost likely fork it (or write another one myself) as I have somethingspecific in mind, and none of the existing software seem to be flexibleenough to do it. For content, I am currently just converting Markdown to text/gemini (isthere any canonical name for the format?) via an ugly script, which canbe found at [1] if anyone's willing to see and use it for their ownneeds. As for my thoughts about Gemini (from someone who never used anythingbut HTTP): It's really nice. The only suggestion I'd give would be tomake text/gemini have a little more flexibility in terms of formatting(maybe like Markdown, but w/o images), but I do realise that (1) itwould be difficult to render to any TUI browser and (2) most formattingcan be accomplished via clever ASCII/ANSI art, especially if you writeit by hand and not use any scripts like I do. Anyway, I wish Gemini succeeds, and I wish everyone a good day!
