Thinking about how Gemini would be an OK frontend for Secure Scuttlebutt. Most of the current frontends are HTML, which requires a browser. A small SSB->Gemini server backed by something like go-ssb could help simplify the stack a bit.

@mntn Thanks for mentioning this... I have spent some time researching this and am very interested. I especially like the offline feature since I believe way too many people take Internet access for granted. · 2 years ago
@nristen In my opinion it's the most promising decentralized social tool that's out there. The offline support and syncing is unbeatable, especially if you deal with intermittent power or network outages. · 2 years ago
@skyjake It looks like encoding spaces as pluses comes from the way that HTML forms are URL encoded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding#The_application.2Fx-www-form-urlencoded_type

I had not heard of Scuttlebutt before: https://scuttlebutt.nz/ · 2 years ago
@lykso I believe the plus thing is a Station issue... Plus is not a reserved URL character and does not need escaping. · 2 years ago
Titan & Gemini & SSB would be 🙌.
(Sidebar: just learned that Lagrange doesn't escape plus signs in the text input before sending!) · 2 years ago
You'd probably need support from a sister protocol to handle long posts and file uploads, but for reading and short comments Gemini alone is enough. · 2 years ago
