[ANN] medusae.space a Gemini directory

1. contact (a) medusae.space (contact (a) medusae.space)

Hello everybody!

We're super happy to introduce you to our Gemini directory. Its goal is
to provide an easy way to dive into the Geminispace. It's also meant to
be a tool for discovering new capsules, and let the serendipity happen.

It's all human indexed and curated. Right now it already includes a
hundred links organised in categories. Of course, we're going to add
more capsules over time.

It's still in its early stage, and there may be some typos left. Don't
hesitate to tell us if you see one.

We're always looking for more cool content, so please email us if your
favourite capsules are missing.

We'll soon add some kind of crawler to regularly check the links and
certs, because a directory filled with dead links is a sad directory.

So, here it is: gemini://medusae.space

We hope you'll enjoy it.

I don't know what software server you use but it seems its response
header is:

<STATUS><TAB><META>

when the specification
<gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.gmi> says it
must be:

<STATUS><SPACE><META>

Many clients are lax and accept the tab but may be not all?

You're right! It should be fixed now, thanks a lot.

It is, thanks. (Managing a crawler is a very good way to test the
health of the geminispace.)

You're not alone, these capsules have the same problem:

consensus.circumlunar.space
gem.bestalbumsintheuniverse.com
typed-hole.org
vger.cloud

This is the sort of case where you regret the Server: header of HTTP,
which may be would show the software they use, allowing a global bug
report.

Ah thanks St?phane, this should be fixed for typed-hole.org. I'm using 
my own server which isn't used by anybody else AFAIK.

Indeed.

If I were less lazy, I would notify all the capsulemasters of the
technical problems detected by the Lupa crawler (there are many; as
Melisandre said, the geminispace is large and full of errors).

But the last time I did that, his email server rejected my message
claiming that my IP address is blacklisted.

For some reason the Medusae category links don't seem to work well on the vulpes proxy

They do fine on amphora, so, the issue might be with the proxy (??)

Oh, you're right. I guess that's because we've used relative links
with a dot-slash format. Is that something that should'nt be used for
gemini links?

We'll change it tomorrow.

Thank you for the report.

Well, no, I'm stupid... It's just that vulpes seems to not be able to
accept urls with queries (?). Any capsule that use this kind of URL or
is waiting for client input is broken on vulpes.

I'm sorry, I can't do anything to fix this.

Vulpes also doesn't display preformatted blocks if they start on the
first line of the document. It has lots of weird bugs and trying to
change your site because it doesn't work on vulpes is a pointless
endeavor because it has so many weird behaviors. Not accepting queries
in links? Why would it even strip those out?
