I'm not sure if it's entirely what you're looking for but have you checked out sloum's stagit fork: https://git.rawtext.club/sloum/stagit-gemini Doesn't look like it's actively maintained but I'm guessing it's considered complete. I think there are some other options out there but I can't recall them off the top of my head.
