As a web dev, the more I learn about Gemini the cooler this protocol is. I make music, and what I think Gemini has the potential to be is a kind of haven for folk-art, a kind of digital front porch, a place where music, art, writing doesn't get lost in deluge of content.

@devyl @jo To be precise, Lagrange supports viewing Markdown files using the Gemtext renderer, with built-in ANSI styling for bold, italic, and monospace.
If you've disabled the "View Markdown as source" option, then 'text/markdown' will be automatically converted to the equivalent Gemtext with ANSI styling.

The same here - besides the music part :) back to simplicity is the way to go. I like elegant KISS design in my daily work so gemini is a awesome protocol, imho. But i would really like to have markdown support in amfora and lagrange. Just like normal markdown viewers/interpreters support html - which has no place here. · 6 hours ago
