[gemini link] Visual Gemtext Primer I created a visual Gemtext primer some months ago to spot the difference in the rendering of Gemtext pages with different browsers. Today I added a section at the bottom, because some clients behave differently and the spec is not very clear about this. What's your take?

Tuesday morn — Hi textmonger! I've been enjoying your posts. Since you mention s/discuss, it seems more than appropriate to reply to you here. Back in the 90s I'd thought that by now it would be easy to find collections of intelligent others growing closer for sharing thoughts. A little search for the right group(s), jump into the fray, enjoy. Ouch. Yeah, I remember the magic. My posts to "alt.rec.games-...

Domiply — //mediocregopher.com/posts/domiply.gmi Domiply seems like a nice idea. I’m thinking of trying it out. What do you think?
Do you encrypt your mails? If so, how did you overcome the intertia of your people network to install mail encryption?

— idiomdrotting: Brownshirts vs climate
idiomdrottning: Brownshirts vs climate — Our past selves borrowed from our future selves but now we can’t figure out a way to kick the can down the road even if we wanted to. There are going to be drastic changes needed; but I guess they will only happen when the "pain level" has increased a few more notches. The current runaway rate of new problems at least promises to deliver at some point. It was...

Feeds are a dark pattern — I definitely agree that the structure of feeds doesn’t scale past ‘tiny’ very well. A new view on posts might be enough to get me off my butt to actually contribute some code the gemini universe. gemini://tilde.town/~dzwdz/b/feeds.gmi

— CircaDian: The Trouble With IDEs
CircaDian: The Trouble With IDEs — This whole discussion kicked off with me advocating for coding in a proportional font; then one of the various replies mentioned the trouble with IDEs, and it's a great topic so I posted about that. Then there were some more replies and I thought we were done, but a few more drifted in; linked above. The latecomers appear to share my appreciation for...

— CircaDian: Who Likes The Likers
CircaDian: Who Likes The Likers — Thanks textmonger! I agree that it's nice to get a "heavyweight" reply on someone's capsule. But I do think there is a problem with barrier to entry for that. Maybe having both "lightweight" and "heavyweight" options will work nicely. So, here is a response to your response posted to Bubble. Let's see what happens! (If anything). I agonized over the right subspace name for responses to Gemlog posts, then decided to go big and use just "discuss". The idea of s/discuss is that it's for posts ...
