2. Get feed readers to support gemini, starting with open source ones.This shouldn't be that hard, but I don't think non-tech people even knowwhat feed reader is nowadays.
And this is the hardest but is aided by the previous two:
3. Get CMS/blog hosts to support gemini; I'm thinking smaller players first but building up to WordPress, medium, etc...I don't like this. One of the main points of gemini for me isdecentralization and that it is not commercial. Adding support forsomething like medium would slowly make it only slightly better than theweb - requiring users to login after they read 3 articles, etc.
I think it would be cool if we had a pretty Android & IOS app marketedas a blogging/writing platform. On the first screen it would prompt theuser to select an instance where they want to register an account (infact creating an ssh account), then it would be simply normal geminiclient app. The homepage could be a feed reader, the user could writegemini markup directly in the app or they could write it as WYSIWYG.
I think this way, it would be possible to get non-tech people use it.
