My current Gemini rig

../

I'm still a Gemini newbie, so I can't speak with any wisdom about which tools to recommend here (other than Neovim). This post is mainly for my own future retrospective.

Writing

My $EDITOR is Neovim. For writing prose, I use the goyo.vim plugin. For gemtext syntax highlighting, I recently installed gemini.vim, and it seems to fit the bill.

Building and proofing

I currently use the Kiln static site generator. Because I like writing with semantic line breaks, I run my own little post-processor on Kiln's output.

../semantic-line-breaks

I use Agate to serve Kiln's build output locally before I push changes. The following invocation starts it up (Makefile syntax):

agate --hostname localhost --content $(OUTPUT_DIR)

I alternate between Bombadillo and Amfora as my local Gemini client. After starting Agate, `amfora localhost` loads up my capsule.

Hosting

I was using Smol Pub to get started, and now I'm trying Sourcehut Pages for a little more control over what I'm able to present. From my limited use so far, I'd say both are great options!

gemini://smol.pub

gemini://srht.site

Aggregation

I want to start aggregating my own collection of feeds, but I haven't found the right tool for this job yet. More to come.
