Gemini is a new internet protocol that's being developed by members of the Gopher community. Its purpose is to be a viable alternative to both Gopher and the web by incorporating the best aspects of both while avoiding the pitfalls of the web. I have built this site (or "capsule") using Gemini in an effort to promote the project in the hope that more people will turn away from the dumpster fire that is the modern web. Gemini is plain text written in a markdown-like syntax. Links can only be written and displayed one per line (similar to gopher). There are no images, no video and no advertisements!
Gemini should be of particular interest to people who are:
• Opposed to the web's ubiquitous user tracking
• Tired of obnoxious adverts, autoplaying videos and other misfeatures
• Interested in low-power computing and/or low-speed networks
• Opposed to the big tech monopoly that dominates the web
If you want to help promote a simpler and more efficient alternative to the web, please consider making your next "web" site a Gemini capsule instead
