Hi gnuserland,
There is Duckling Proxy."Duckling proxy is a Gemini proxy to access the Small Web. Connecting to itwith your Gemini client means you can access many web pages directly withyour favourite client."=

I recently created an elinks feature request for gemini, my favoriteconsole http browser, it appearently also supports gopher, nntp, ftp andbittorrent.https://github.com/rkd77/elinks/issues/121

Hi Geminauts,
Splitting the daily navigation across HTTP and Gemini is becoming
frustrating, I'd like to do everything inside the Geminspace...
I am not a programmer and often I just dream about unrealistic thing but
I toss this idea here...
Since we have, at least in the *nix world, a lot of TUI web browser, I
wonder if it would be feasible/possible creating a kind of local server
proxy that convert on the fly the page from html to gemini, let's call
it Geminator.
I have my fantastic Geminator runtime as background process and in my
Gemini client I write something like:
gemini://localhost/geminator/www.phoronix.com
Let's that we can decide which back-end using (e.g. w3m, elinks, etc...)
this would be the process in my dream:
1. I do the request to Geminator;
2. Geminator passes the request to w3m;
3. w3m renders and buffers the page and passes it to Geminator;
4. Geminator translates the page into a Gemini one (trying to convert
also links in Geminator readable links);
5. Geminator send the page back to my client;
6. I am happily browsing Internet from my favorite Gemini client.
For sure it won't be perfect, it will also behaves weirdly, but I think
it would be enough to navigate pages like for instance phoronix, or
other news pages, some federated social networks, etc...
Well I wrote it, I hope to not be banned from the mailing list... :D
