Interesting experience, a social network based on Gemini: gemini://station.martinrue.com/ (My personal feed is <gemini://station.martinrue.com/bortzmeyer> if you're interested.) This is quite experimental at this time, the source code is not even released yet <gemini://station.martinrue.com/rdelaage/281c0c04664143b0956d2573165ace23>. And, at the current time, it is centralized <gemini://station.martinrue.com/adele/5c225167813e4e2badb3a156e4f9a686>. If you want to use Lagrange to connect, a few tips: First, you need a client certificate. You can do it from Lagrange (the Identity menu, a small person on the left of the address bar, then "New identity") or from outside. Here is an example to get a certificate with elliptic curves (because we can) with OpenSSL: openssl ecparam -out key-user.pem -name prime256v1 -genkey openssl req -new -subj /CN=Me -sha256 -nodes -key key-user.pem -out cert-user.crt openssl x509 -days 1000 -in cert-user.crt -out cert-user.pem -req -signkey key-user.pem cat cert-user.pem key-user.pem > import-with-lagrange.pem lagrange import-with-lagrange.pem Then you can use the Identity menu to import your certificate. Next, when you navigate to Station, be sure to first visit the home page <gemini://station.martinrue.com/> (otherwise, the certificate will be used by Lagrange only for URLs under the prefix you visit). Then, using the Identity menu, "Show identities", right click on the one you created or imported and ask for this identity to be used on that page. After that, you can create your Station account at <gemini://station.martinrue.com/join> and after that create entries in the log, reply, etc.
And again and again, people show the power of simplicity, and working within constraints. :) Great job!

Registered! This is a very interesting concept, looks like a it will become a cool community. ~almaember

This is really neat! I can see myself using this :D Gemini-based social networks are really nice. As someone else already said¹, an image/linking ability or something would be nice. It appears at current that attempting to add => to the start of a message to make it a link gets it stripped. => gemini://station.martinrue.com/bortzmeyer/06ed768e51bd41a79e9fa0a9d5c75bad ¹ Here I am :) : => gemini://station.martinrue.com/goodclover -Oliver Simmons
This is really cool! If I could make a suggestion the ability for users to put links to their own capsules in their profiles would be nice. Moody

I just put the URL in my bio, but I guess you're asking for a separate field. -- Matthew Graybosch gemini://starbreaker.org/ https://starbreaker.org/ "The lie you tell yourself is the lies that defines you." --Isaac Magnin
