After half of year on Gemini. I find it's really good for certain things
1. Low bandwidth (on train/bus, etc..)
2. Reading without distraction
3. FIrewalls doesn't speak this protocol
4. Low resource use.
Lagrage use less CPU under active use vs Firefox in background!

Regarding points 1 and 3, I once got on to Gemini using the messaging-only free wifi on a flight. It was amazing to see how well it worked 30,000 feet in the air while HTTP would have stalled out. · 11 months ago
From a author/content makers standpoint, the killer feature of gemini is how stupidly simple gemtext is to format and how nicely clients can display that text. If you want to write an html site of the same level of complexity of a gem capsule its going to look *UGLY* and basic as hell until you do some fancy CSS stuff or set up a markdown-to-html type program. Sure there isnt as much an author can do to specify how they want their capsule to look on gemini graphically, but the plus side is that literally everyone can make a good looking capsule. · 11 months ago
