Hello, thanks to solderpunk for hosting my capsule at => gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/~ew/ I have never really produced a blog --- allthough I heavily rely on what information others make avaiable. I have made one attempt (using emacs, ox-publish) and it immediately seemed awkward. I gave up after like half a dozen posts ... Now with the minimal approach of gemini:// writing up something feels much simpler. I don't even have to check the cheat sheet for .gmi text layout. So thank you everyone involved in making this experiment a reality. I like to read what others write. I already found a number of posts, which brightend my day :) Thanks! Cheers, ~ew -- Keep it simple!
Hi ew, Welcome to Geminispace! I am glad you are enjoying a less awkward way to publish online. :) I've changed the Subject of this reply to have the correct form of the [users] topic, so that more people can see it. You're certainly not the first person to make this mistake. I might redefine the topic so that both [user] and [users] work, as that might make things easier. Cheers, Solderpunk PS: For the curious, the choice of [users] and [tech] is mirroring conventions from *BSD mailing lists.

Thank you for posting your new Gemini space. I'm enjoying your writing. What do you prefer for a client? I'm having trouble with some terminal based clients and navigating numbered links that require two keystrokes (e.g. 24 would navigate to the second link then the fourth on the new page instead of link 24 on the original page.) > I have never really produced a blog --- allthough I heavily rely > on what information others make avaiable.

I've made several attempts to make a blog in the past, myself. I'm excited about Gemini for its simplicity too. Markdown (or org-mode) is nice, but with Gemini text it is much simpler, and I think having less options actually helps free you when writing. It's not complete yet, but I'm slowly working on a static site generator that uses Gemini text as the primary text format. It'll render it to HTML for multi protocol hosting without a proxy. => https://git.sr.ht/~kiba/gdn Gemini static site generator > I like to read what others write. I already found a number of > posts, which brightend my day :) Thanks! I've been happily exploring others' writings on Gemini as well. I don't know where I'll host it, but I've started the git repository for my own site and writings here: => https://git.sr.ht/~kiba/garden My digital garden I wish you the best and I look forward to reading more of your posts. -- Kind regards, Kiba

I'm also using kristall to experiment with gemini behind an onion service (using torify). Cheers, ~ew -- Keep it simple!
