After having spent the past few days getting the capsule set up and wiring up build tools to automate updates to the site, I am almost ready to declare the basic design of the capsule complete.
With Gemini being as purposefully limited as it is, there is only so much "design" one can do. However, there are still cleanliness and organizational concerns for the content. I have grouped and arranged things in what I think is a logical manner, and will use this as a foundation for adding more content to the capsule.
I have a simple homepage that allows visitors to drill deeper quickly. I envision adding multiple top-level links to different interest categories, beyond just the focus on open source software. In addition to software development, I have an interest in micromobility, electric vehicles of all sorts, creative writing and world building, and more. As I hope to make this site my main digital presence in the world, I want to explore all of those things here.
Some people use Gemini as a dumping ground for interesting stuff they find. Others use it as a new way to gather people together online in smaller, focused communities. Others are using it as a place to make posts that are more rough around the edges, and not ready for "prime time" on the regular Web.
I want to use Gemini as a place to create a content-driven digital presence. This sounds lofty, but all it really means is that I intend for it to be my primary means of presenting myself to the online world. It's a cross between marketing myself, getting my thoughts into the open, journaling away troubles, and having something to keep idle hands busy (but not too busy).
During the entirety of this design and setup phase, I noticed that my focus is still mainly content-driven. I have spent more time thinking about -WHAT- to put up here, and gathering the motivation to do it, than thinking about -HOW- to arrange what I've put here. And I consider that a win.
