Is there a (dictionary) repo covering sites which operate for both Gemini
and HTML?
I don't think it's worth the effort to keep a directory of sites thatare available on both Gemini and the Web. It's hard to keep itup-to-date, to inform geminauts about it and more importantly it's notlike a Gemini capsule and a website on the same will have the samecontent. Furthermore, there are people (like me) that have the web siteand the gemini capsule on different subdomains (www and geminirespectively).
(it hurts to speak about HTTP on a gemini mailing list)
What could be done is use a HTTP header to inform the web browser thatthat site is available also over Gemini. This way, the effort wouldn'tbe on a bunch of people running a directory, but rather on the serveradministrator. Something like a `Gemini-location: <url>'. From myunderstanding it's something that the tor project is doing:
% curl --head https://www.torproject.org | grep -i location Onion-Location: http://2gzyxa5ihm7nsggfxnu52rck2vv4rvmdlkiu3zzui5du4xyclen53wid.onion/index.html
If so, it would be great for browsers to then be whipped into visiting/providing
the Gemini one each time a URI is considered.

Can Duckling Proxy work with OpenNIC to avoid using mainstream web
My understanding is that OpenNIC is just an alternative DNS provider,
so it should be transparent to applications once configured.
Exactly. You can set it up so that your system's default DNS provider is
OpenNIC, and then everything should use it automatically. The program
dnscrypt-proxy might be of help with this.
I don't know if there are any Gemini capsules on one of the OpenNIC
TLDs...? It would be cool if there are.
