FYI, Im working on aggregating GemText files to generate kanban boards (including with exported content, to things like Tikz graphics).

The simplicity of GemText will permit me to build additional rulesets/inferences to extract project goals better.

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?
