It would be nice if there was a way for a user to optionally convey some kind of seed or info for some basic theming (like favicon). That could be picked up by a client if it existed. Very basic info, maybe foreground, background colours, site icon and maybe the definitive home page link.
Perhaps some sort of informal convention, ala shebang [1], as a prelude to a text/gemini, with a few directives, such as:
In other words, to be considered a gemini shebang (♊︎# for short):
➊ It MUST be the first line of a text/gemini➋ The line MUST start with the sequence U+0023 U+0021 U+264A U+FE0E U+0020 ('#!♊︎ ')
Followed by any number of key-value pairs, perhaps as algol type sexp, e.g.:
⌂ (U+2302 HOUSE) for user info such as name (uʍopǝpısdn) and icon (☣︎ U+2623 BIOHAZARD SIGN)⾊ (U+2F8A COLOR) for styling info such as text color (black) and background (white)
Blending both retro and contemporary styling, a bit like Gemini itself.
Gemini For The Win (♊︎✌︎ for short)
P.S. Aside from being a gimmick, the use of Unicode symbols showcase Gemini's capabilities, namely full Unicode support.P.P.S. To paraphrase some old slogan, Keep Gemini Weird ☻
