Hi,

as I understand it, currently only prompts for single-line inputs are

supported, and it seems this is mostly intended for queries to search

engines. This means, a (anonymous) commenting system could not be

implemented on a gemini page (except for one-line comments).

I had the same limitation when creating DNA (gemini://nixo.xyz), butmanaging continuation on the server works quite well. But I need "userinfo" (a certificate) to link different requests together. This couldalso be achieved by using an UUID in the uri. The server waits for aspecific message ('!save' in my case, but could also be the emptymessage) to be inserted in order to know when to save the message.
