I mean, I thought the whole idea of Gemini was to do content delivery, insimplicity, as well as possible. There's not much one can do with it kindaby design. The same should have been true with the web, but then peoplewere like "oh hey we have this thing already, why not use it for showingemail?" And on and on it goes. And now we have a content delivery systemmeant for documents hyperlinked together used for applications. Foraccessibility, that sucks because our program that were designed forreading virtual documents, with links, headings, all that, now have tohandle applications using the same tech as documents, with featureshurriedly added into both screen readers and browser tech and Elektron, tomake it work slightly well. So I vote for just using Gemini as Gemini;small static sites linked together, with little games and a search engineor two to link things together. Sure something cool could be made, butthat's on the backend, not the frontend, please.Devin Praterr.d.t.prater at gmail.comgemini://tilde.pink/~devinprater/

So other than a 'small web' or possibly as e-book delivery, have there
been any interesting use cases?
There’s probably something in the question that I’m not understanding, but
since everything on/in Gemini is either on the Small Web or is an e-book,
what else _could_ there be? Small Company Intranets?-------------- next part --------------An HTML attachment was scrubbed...URL: <https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/attachments/20210920/9bb9d67e/attachment.htm>
