Ideas for Gemini developers

Useful things I would like to see on Gemini:

Home capsules for Gemini browsers; guides, download info and downloading through Gemini
Gemini capsule downloader: insert a link and the complete capsule (tree) will be downloaded and compressed in .zip format
List of public Fediverse instances
List of public XMPP and IRC servers
GNU/Linux & BSD distro sites: all their manuals, download sections etc.
Mirror sites: Text-only news feeds from major news media sites. I know there are some already, but I would like to see more. The news page content isn’t completely necessary, because topic is usually enough to figure out is it worth reading.
Mirror sites: Copyright-free governmental websites and their feeds. State media, ministries, state departments, public announcements, libraries, universities, academia, etc.
Mirror sites: Weather forecasts for any place in the world (not just capital cities or US).
Mirror sites: US stock market dashboard (SP500, Nasdaq, currencies) + search by individual stock ticker
Mirror sites: Wiktionary and Wikinews.
Public domain / Copyright-free book repository (“Gemini version of Project Gutenberg” etc).
YouTube creators who wish to publish their works in video AND audio formats (video is usually unnecessary) - or maybe to publish the text script they’re talking on the video? That will save bandwidth a lot! It would be logical to keep some kind of catalogue of these YT content creators, sorting them by topic/genre.

Gemini versions for aforementioned websites would reduce the need to access bloated HTTP websites.
