Do you have a Wordpress blog?
I'm seeking alpha testers for my Wordpress to Gemlog plugin, which automatically creates a gemlog from your webblog. See gemini://smol.chorebuster.net and http://smol.chorebuster.net/ for a demo of the functionality.
Plugin code is available at https://gitlab.com/rimu/wp2smol. If you need help setting it up I'll be happy to help.
When you do a gemlog post, do you tag it with hashtags, or without? Is there an emerging convention?
Every once in a while I get a strong urge to own a dot matrix printer.
Then I can do this:
cat filename.txt > /dev/lp
... and listen to the beast roar into life.
It'd be glorious.
Imagine dumping 1000+ lines of source code to /dev/lp, going for a stroll and coming back to one long continious sheet of geekery.
Living the dream.
Wouldn't it be great if \n created a new paragraph?
My current fascination is building a bridge between Wordpress and Gemini, where ones blog is automatically copied to gemtext whenever it is updated. For that I need to write a WordPress plugin, yet I couldn't find a PHP library to convert Markdown to Gemtext.... So the first step I've taken is to build an API in Python for the PHP WordPress plugin to use: https://rimu.geek.nz/a-html-to-gemtext-conversion-api/
