Re: "The most significative difference between gemini and the..."
i think it is important that gemini is standardized, defined.
smol web does not define an html subset to use. i would like to have some html subset defined, which is simple but yet contains some useful modern/recently added features.

@norayr there are some efforts to define the small web, smolweb.org being one... or marginalia.nu but they seem more a personal quest than a group endevour

i think that gemini is a oversimplification.
I like the idea of having your own style, this removes from the creativity of the site's maker but i think its a way better user experience.
I think that gemini should have some decent multimedia support, in a way, i think my wishes contradict Gemini's missions, i would like something like it to replace the web.
A big thing that i am thinking about it, what to do about interactivity, we have moved apps from apps to the web, but how would be better?
I like the fact that on the web you can have math articles with math formul
and stuff, and you can alsk visualise it.
Maybe an sepparate app would work?

i hate the text restrictions of the input field.
Is is a Lagrange thing or universal?
i think for that (replace the web) it is just necessary to define a standard which is a subset of web.
http 1.1 is not that, we need a subset of latest http and html, very small, preferrably without js support.
but it will be very hard to agree on such subset.

I don't think the exact subset is that important. I'd be willing to compromise, even to limit myself to a gemini-analogue. But... I'm focusing on following the "movement" rather than leading it... The way I see it for the smol web to be meaningful we need to 1. find ourselves 2. gather ourselves 3. lead ourselves... but it's a long, long way to Tiperary

maybe... the chief thing is to keep the guns firing, let's do it the best we can and keep it small and try to gather ourselves
The most significative difference between gemini and the smol web is that Gemini is an intentional effort for simplicity, while a small web might be small for whatever reasons.
