That's what I was afraid of with input codes.
I was thinking with my heart and getting carried away with the ideas forthings I could build and trying to find any way I could to make it work.
I've always agreed that setting up an HTTP server just for input defeats
the purpose of Gemini.
As I say, my use case is community building, and for the ideas I wasthinking of, I just can't do that right now with Gemini. And that's ok.
They are actually capable of anything. Titan works almost exactly like
how HTTP input forms work, those are just wrapped up nicely in a GUI.
If you wrote a decent client for Titan then it would be
indistinguishable from an HTTP free text form. It could work like the
in-browser Wikipedia editor and edit an existing page (which is what
it's currently used for), but it also allows you to just submit
arbitrary text and your server can make use of a Titan upload however it
wants (add the text to the end of a page as a comment, etc.). It's just
a matter of there not being much good support or software for it right
now.
That's pretty interesting though like you say, it's down to client support,and if that's a bit hit and miss right now I should probably take a waitand see approach.
Thanks for your reply, Alex, was very helpful.
