Bombadillo says the cert is expired. It seems a lot of people areusing clients that don't check TLS...
Anyway this seems like a cool idea, although geddit.pitr.ca was thefirst textboard I believe. It only works on links though, so this seemslike a great addition.

It's fairly basic for now: you can create new threads and replies, and
threads are ordered by last activity. For now all posts are kept
forever, but I plan to add automatic deletion of old threads, as is
tradition.
Feel free to use it to talk about whatever!
The server is written in Haskell, and this textboard is actually a
proof of concept for a series of libraries I'm about to release that
will make it easy to write dynamic Gemini sites. You could call it a
lightweight "Gemini framework"[1].
The board and libraries' source code is not public yet. I plan to
announce them in the coming weeks once I finish polishing some stuff.
