Hey all — I’ve been thinking about how since I’ve followed Gemini, there have been a number of ideas for “writing” gemini — several different alternative protocols. I run flounder.online, and I’ve found these ideas compelling, but I haven’t really seen any of them take off.
However, one idea I had was to use Gemini itself, without modification, to handle uploading content, ie a file. I have a couple of ideas:
1. sending several <META> In 1024 bytes to write an entire file.2. For a text file, sending a diff including a line number and a line of text up to 1024 bytes. Repeat this for each diff.
While both of these are technically feasible, they are a bit wonky, and for large files would involve many requests. What I’m wondering is whether these are ideas worth considering — ways to upload files without extending or replacing Gemini. Any thoughts?
Thanks
