Surprise, not everyone uses gemini! Sharing something with your friends is nice, but it's even better if they can read it. So I created a proxy that translates my gemini stuff to http/html.
One upside with this proxy is that it can be configured so that the http/gemini pages are completely symmetric. Swap out gemini:// for https:// and whatever you want to share is avaliable outside of the plaintext nerddom.
It also provides an option for following gemsub over HTTP & Atom, if a page contains gemsub links an Atom feed link will be added at the end.
At the moment the proxy is dumb as dirt. It views all non-success statuses from gemini as errors (including redirects and input requests). Much of the markup generation is hardcoded, and it pretty much completely lacks any knobs to tweak except the ability to run under a different port when using plaintext HTTP. But it gets the job done for now.
