The idea is similar to the one presented by solderpunk in "A vision for

gemini applications"

gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/users/solderpunk/gemlog/a-vision-for-gemini-applications.gmi

and, frankly, I'm quite disappointed nobody has built something like

this before. (or at least I haven't been able to find it. I know

kensanata has made some experiments with a mush, but I haven't played

with it (yet))

The idea is to provide two pages: one that accepts input via the

response code 10 and appends to a file, the second is a literal `tail

-f'. Simple, but it works, and it's immediate. As soon as someone

sends something, all the clients reading from `tail -f' gets the

message.

Looks familiar!

Oooouch sorry, I haven't seen that!

The idea of a infinite loop of redirects for providing input is reallyclever, and of course the implementation is way, way better!

Thanks for sharing! ;)
