## Questions:
* As for file extensions, I'm using .gemini but I see many people prefering .gmi Should I change to .gmi? Are there any rules I'm not aware of?
When I first started using Markdown, I was a diehard fan of using the full extension, .markdown. .md seemed like a stupid hack that was good only for long-dead Windows 3.1 computers.
Then I started seeing lots of my own .markdown files in a length-constrained view (probably the Visual Studio Code sidebar) and thought “‘.markdown’ takes up a half to a third of the space in this view, but it doesn’t tell me anything more about the file than .md would. If I renamed all these files to .md, I’d get much better information density and less noise.”
I use .md now.
All this happened before I got into Gemini, so I started off with .gmi and only briefly considered using the full extension.
