Hello,

my partner wants to write a site with me. She likes the idea of Gemini

and the simplicity of its syntax, but is not the kind of person to run

cli applications like vim and rsync all the time. Which is how I have

been doing it. She told me she would prefer to use something like the

Nextcloud inbuilt text editor, though that one uses Markdown

unfortunately and seems too complex for me to just modify it to work with

gemtext right now.

So I was wondering, did any of you have similar challenges? What solution

did you ultimately go with? There are a few pieces to this puzzle, so I

will just list them individually:

highlighting is a big plus, fancy rendering of headers or lists etc is

not necessary because it's already so simple)

the site ultimately will be

with some server-based solution or with eg. Syncthing keeping the state

of our computers in sync

server that is hosting our site

I would be thankful for any suggestions! I believe finding a practical

solution for this type of user would be important for more people to

access gemini as writers. So even if you want to suggest a community

effort for modifying an existing tool or creating a new one, I am open to

working on it and hearing your ideas :)

Best,

Unicorn
