Thinking of text/gemini as a (possibly) "infinite" stream of lines is an
interesting perks of gemini, and can unlock the creation of simple, yet
very powerful applications. Think of a fediverse instance over gemini,
or maybe station, with a "feed" page that streams toots/posts. Or a
news site that streams live events.
Now, not every capsule needs to stream pages of course, but I was mostly
trying to bring up the point again, and see if it stimulates someone
to create something more useful. ;-)

There's a capsule that renders ASCII art using streaming withintentional slowdown to emulate modem-like download speed.
