Hello all,
While I recognise this is beyond the spec:
Any rogue clients outputting content in columns (I guess at 40 characters plus spacing)?
It shouldn’t be too difficult to cut the width down to 40 characters on a phone screen, especially
if the font size is bumped up a little bit.
amfora has a user-adjustable normal-text width. I turned mine down by bumping up the left margin.
I don’t know if either really counts as “rogue”, though.
Its a shame that Amfora isnt packaged for Guix yet, should it not happen Ill do it in 2022.
Given I am working on kanban boards it would be nice if somebody has made my life a little easier.
At my end Im temped to approach it in Emacs-Elpher, to see whether I can scoop up the buffer
content in output differing chunks in multiple (readonly?) buffers
if I wanted to make a kanban board in gemini I’d strongly consider having users have a bunch of
separate windows open, one per visible column.
Im used to tiling managers (used Bspwm for years, now on EXWM) but worried that non-tiling window manager users might find that approach crude. Ill take this as reassurance that users are mature enough to use multiple windows and dont require so much spoonfeeding.
Nethertheless, I am intrigued by how a form feed or seperator annotation could be implemented, which proposes column expectation (as discussed be me in a neighbouring thread)=

I haven’t had coffee yet, so I might be wildly misinterpreting where you’re going with this.
You were in the right ballpark. I hope you managed a cuppa.
