@skyjake hi, I'm wondering if you have any interest in the misfin project. I think that we're reaching a point where the software is there and now we need to make barriers to entry lower and demystify the whole thing and explain its advantages.
One of our biggest challenges is having ~lem semi-permanently afk, and gemini://misfin.org never receiving updates. But we're working on opening up misfin to folks outside of gemini and setting up easy-to-use public misfin hosts.
What you could do that would bring the project a long way is write support for misfin:// links into Lagrange. The gemalaya browser has already done this. A misfin:// link is like a mailto link, but Lagrange could open a standard input box and send that input as a misfin message to whatever address was specified in the URL. Lagrange already handles misfin certs perfectly (these are created by servers and imported into Lagrance using the Import from page function).
If you are interested in this let me know. Given that so many people use Lagrange I think it would be a big step towards getting people to put misfin:// links with their contact info on their gemini capsules and lowering the barrier of entry for folks.

write support for misfin:// links into Lagrange
I've been thinking of doing just that in the next version (v1.18). Unfortunately, I haven't had any time yet to actually get started on it.
I do think Misfin is a cool project and it would be nice to see it gain some popularity among Gemini users.

Awesome, thank you! If/when you do get started, I would love it if you would contact me as I will have some thoughts which may be helpful.
Also this is really inconsequential and you may already know about it, but Lagrange seems to fail this test:
— gemini.thebackupbox.net/test/torture/0050
Which is like... not actually a problem, just thought to mention it.

Yeah I never got around to implementing the soft hyphen support in the HarfBuzz-based text renderer. I think it does work in the original "simple" renderer.
I will contact you when I start implementing the Misfin support.
@skyjake, I have made a subpace /s/Skylab Could you please link my git repository at [https link] Thank you!
