Gemini to Hacker News portal

It also includes an HTML to Gemtext converter which works surprisingly
well, and which I will probably expand into a general purpose
Gemini-to-web portal in the future.

The portal:

gemini://drewdevault.com/cgi-bin/hn.py

A blog post explaining the implementation:

Enjoy.

It seems as though, at least for me, arbitrary websites aren't being 
fetched/converted.  I either see a blank page after the disclaimer that it 
was generated automatically, or a CGI or gateway error.

It doesn't always work well for all web pages. It works best with
articles.
