I think the highest value is actually in defined document structure
itself. It allows for client level formatting of served data.
Basically, presentation cost is offloaded to the client application.
The approach can be replicated in HTML, but GEMINI does not provide
feature set that others can do to differentiate.
Agree this is where Gemini's strength is; lightweight text delivery with just enough formatting for organization (though an argument COULD be made for linking to points inside the same document we don't have that so outside of the initial question's scope.)
I'm more 'ok what can this be used for that isn't obvious?' There has to be something that's going over my head that Gemini would work well in.
I keep wanting to come up with some example but between medicine head and general 'meh' it's a case of 'this sounds stupid.'
Like: 'hey make a graphical interface where each of the button/catagories just points at a specific gmi with that name and that gmi is just a set of links with relevant info text. and... 'oh come on that's just a reskinned browser that's dumb.'
and on and on to the point I'm just 'where's all this creativity I supposedly have? Come on it's a neat format find a f'ing use for it.'
Messaging apps could benefit assuming they don't compete with WhatsApp.
howso?
