I recently discovered this interesting convention for URLs, the /now page, where you state what you are doing/expecting/dreaming of, now. https://nownownow.com/ Using the Lupa database, I notice some geminauts already do it: gemini://ftrv.se/now gemini://oppen.digital/now/ gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/now/
That is interesting. I recently incorporated twtxt.txt into my capsule, and it strikes me as a similar concept. (That is, microblogging.) -- gemini://kwiecien.us/
> The /now page Behold, the /uses page. Usually contains your current desktop set-up, EDC, OS, WM/DE, programs, daily drivers, keyvoard, etc. Whatever you "use". Musician? Your instruments. Artist? Your paints. You get the idea. https://wesbos.com/uses I have only seen one /uses page in the gemini wild. There should be more.
Hi Byron, a /uses page seems more my kind of thing rather than a /now. I wonder what other categories exist... It could be made more fun if a /uses page pointed to a Git repo, so people/stalkers can track an evolution. Hopefully such pages would be less controvertial than favicon pages! => gemini://gemi.dev/gemini-mailing-list/messages/005468.gmi ==================== Jonathan McHugh indieterminacy@libre.brussels September 22, 2021 8:08 PM, "Byron Torres" <b@torresjrjr.com> wrote: >> The /now page > > Behold, the /uses page. > > Usually contains your current desktop set-up, EDC, OS, WM/DE, programs, daily drivers, keyvoard, > etc. Whatever you "use".

New Gemini Text syntax plugin for Vim, "~torresjrjr/gemini.vim". Git repo URL: https://git.sr.ht/~torresjrjr/gemini.vim/ Project page: https://sr.ht/~torresjrjr/gemini.vim/ Aims to be correct. Since there's been a bit of inconsistency with versioning, public documentation, specifications, other plugins, etc, I wrote this plugin. It's existed for some time, but I never mentioned it. Corrections are welcome. I Hope it helps.
> Behold, the /uses page. I looked at the /uses page and it was like an amazon ads :-( Make me thinks of *the Joneses* movie...
This looks great, thanks :D

A /now page seems to me a lot like a .plan file on finger.

I'm pretty sure some clients already support finger links and will happily fetch them already.
