Not infrequently I see a proposal float by this list, and I think "You want beautifully clean HTML5 served up over HTTP. There's nothing wrong or even lesser with serving up beautifully-clean HTML over port 443. There should be more of that in the world."

That doesn't keep me from occasionally wanting this or that from the HTML-over-HTTP world on my capsule. The latest feature to cross my mind: capsule-author-supplied fonts.

And then I remember how fantastically *nice* it is to have so many easily-made clients, and how utterly refreshing that is compared to the HTML-over-HTTP world.

I'll own that. It would be nice, but I don't see it ever happening because smoll. I mean I respect it, and I guess we'd have to make yet another spec for one step up from Gemini but not quite HTML/CSS/JS, but too many standards...

I thought I was way overstepping my bounds when suggesting multi-level

lists for Gemtext in my post but now people want to de-facto require

full-fledged markdown in Gemini clients; my simple and miniscule

suggestion doesn't seem so bad now lol.
