There is Duckling Proxy.

I recently created an elinks feature request for gemini, my favorite
console http browser, it appearently also supports gopher, nntp, ftp
and bittorrent.

Hi Geminauts,
Splitting the daily navigation across HTTP and Gemini is becoming
frustrating, I'd like to do everything inside the Geminspace...
I am not a programmer and often I just dream about unrealistic thing but
I toss this idea here...
Since we have, at least in the *nix world, a lot of TUI web browser, I
wonder if it would be feasible/possible creating a kind of local server
proxy that convert on the fly the page from html to gemini, let's call
it Geminator.
I have my fantastic Geminator runtime as background process and in my
Gemini client I write something like:
gemini://localhost/geminator/www.phoronix.com <http://www.phoronix.com>
Let's that we can decide which back-end using (e.g. w3m, elinks, etc...)
this would be the process in my dream:
1. I do the request to Geminator;
2. Geminator passes the request to w3m;
3. w3m renders and buffers the page and passes it to Geminator;
4. Geminator translates the page into a Gemini one (trying to convert
also links in Geminator readable links);
5. Geminator send the page back to my client;
6. I am happily browsing Internet from my favorite Gemini client.
For sure it won't be perfect, it will also behaves weirdly, but I think
it would be enough to navigate pages like for instance phoronix, or
other news pages, some federated social networks, etc...
Well I wrote it, I hope to not be banned from the mailing list... :D
