Hello fellow capsuleers! I have a new Gemini project that may interest you: 💬 Bubble It is a Gemini-based bulletin board system that combines elements from Station, Reddit, WordPress, and Git-adjacent issue trackers like on Gitea and GitHub. It has some cool features like email notifications and a draft composer for making longer posts. Here's the announcement: gemini://geminispace.org/u/skyjake/1

A smarter CAPCOM is on the way, with support for regular Gemini feeds: gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/news/2023_04_16.gmi This is great news and should improve the liveliness of the feed quite a bit.

CW: ChatGPT I asked the OpenAI GPT-3 chat bot about Gemini: I'm sorry, but I'm not aware of any protocols or technologies called "smol net" or "Gemini" that have nothing to do with cryptocurrencies. Looks like the Eye of Sauron still averts us… I then proceeded to ask about my other project, the Doomsday Engine (a Doom port), and it promptly gave a brief description and named me as the author, using my real name. 😱 Of course, as a long-term project it must have been picked up into the training set from some wiki, but still feels weird to be part of the AI’s data model.

skyjake.fi is currently offline due to my office/server setup being physically rearranged. I wasn’t intending to disconnect the server but apparently a network cable must’ve been knocked loose. Oh well, everything should be up and running within 24h.

Question for everyone: what do you use as your Gemini homepage / daily starting point? For me it was usually Antenna but now I've switched to Cosmos, after adding the "Show posts newer than this" feature. Also, would you be interested in a more dynamic home "dashboard" feature in Lagrange that combines and caches information from multiple pages into one home view? It would be a special type of subscription in practice. This might be nice if you regularly check up on multiple capsules, e.g., Astrobotany, Antenna, etc. I'm not fully convinced such a feature is worth implementing, though, given the added complexity vs. value gained.

🤧 Been having a cold this week, so dayjob productivity has been nil... On the other hand, this has given me the opportunity to design a bunch of (extended) ASCII Emojis for the Lagrange TUI. Check it out: °u° Alien ^;= Duck _:_ Folded Hands v1.13.5 has a few of these in the new Simple Characters mode.

Testing Lagrange 1.13.4 TUI in a Linux virtual terminal.Looking quite messy still, compared to a GUI terminal emulator! The biggest problem is the Unicode symbols, which are missing and drawn with incorrect widths. The VGA color mode is passable but needs more distinction between UI backgrounds and the page.

Lagrange 1.13 has been released: gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2022-05_lagrange-1.13.gmi Curses TUI (source build), improved keyboard UI navigation, support for @mozz's Spartan protocol, Unicode 14 Emoji included, bookmarking indicator, viewing pages as plain/styled text, reopening tabs, and ability to embed trusted root CA certificates. I'll use the last one especially in the upcoming mobile builds so they can check CA-generated server certificates. Please treat the TUI version as a beta for now. It's missing a few settings and has a few rough edges.

gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2022-03_android-beta1.gmi The next phase begins in the Lagrange for Android prerelease builds. 🚀 Thanks for the Alpha feedback everyone! The work continues but now I’m happy to start calling this a “proper” Android app and not just a platform-agnostic mobile build.

@gnuserland Check it out: 🙂 gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2022-03_android-alpha7.gmi This is also a preview of Lagrange v1.12, with Roboto as the default font, paragraph justification option, bottom URL/tab bars, new "Oceanic" color theme, and improvements for the other themes. I did notice an occasional problem with the lookup results popup remaining open even after unfocusing the URL bar. Let me know if you find a reliable way to reproduce that.

@gnuserland There seems to be a problem with your Atom timestamps in the gemini://gnuser.land/gemlog/atom.xml feed. The "updated" time of a few entries is missing a date: <updatedT12:00:00-0500</updated This causes CAPCOM to think the item is dated for the current day. (The circumlunar CAPCOM is also not filtering future dates, it seems... 🙂)

If you have missing glyphs (Emoji in particular) in #Lagrange, this may help: https://git.skyjake.fi/gemini/font-library/src/branch/main/build/get_symbola.sh It's a shell/Python script that downloads Symbola from UFAS and converts it to TrueType (using "fonttools"). You can then drag-and-drop the .ttf on the Lagrange window to install it. (Requires python3 and pip3.) Symbola is quite a nice Unicode 13 compatible font, but available only for personal use so I can't put it in the Font Library.

Small Cosmos tweak: publications like smolZINE are always sorted to the top of their day and can only be the root of a thread. @kelbot As zines are not regular log posts they may link to many things and if one or more of the links happen to be feed posts, it’s not appropriate for the zine to become a thread reply to one of them. gemini://gemini.cyberbot.space/smolzine/smolzine-issue-18.gmi

gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2022-01_cosmos.gmi Occasionally people reply or refer to others' posts in Geminispace, but these threads of discussion are not really visible anywhere. I wanted to make something to help with this, so I wrote a new aggregator that tracks links between posts.

gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-12_android-alpha.gmi A new frontier for Lagrange! The first ALPHA build of Lagrange for Android is available for trying out, if you have a 32-bit ARM device. It is pretty certain to crash on you somewhere along the way. Hopefully the next build with a newer SDL is more stable.

I updated the Gemini server certificates on skyjake.fi and git.skyjake.fi. skyjake.fi kept its public key, so your client may automatically trust it. The expiration date is much further in the future. git.skyjake.fi now uses the same certificate, via SAN. I'm also redirecting from git.skyjake.fi:1965 (served by Agate) to git.skyjake.fi:1968 (served by GmGitView).

Testing the new Lagrange for iOS native text input! My custom input widgets weren’t really cutting it on mobile. There’s a vast number of little things that iOS does to make text entry smooth and effortless, so anything I could implement myself would be but a pale imitation. It remains to be seen what can be done on other mobile platforms. The custom widget has to stick around as a fallback, but I’ll likely keep it as bare-bones as possible.

I liked this post by rlamacraft: gemini://gemini.rlamacraft.uk/replies/reframingThePhilosophyOfGemini.gmi Have to disagree with Drew here. Gemini is decidedly not a read-only distribution protocol. (As evidenced by what we're doing right here.) There is a little more nuance to it: I would call it a balance of 80/20 in favor of reading. Writing is possible, and even secure thanks to client certificates, but not as convenient as reading. So this means, if in doubt, focus on the read direction, but completely ignoring the write direction unnecessarily excludes a lot of cool potential.

gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-10_mark-it-down.gmi I'm curious if folks here have thoughts regarding Markdown in Geminispace? Obviously we don't want sites doing browser-specific content, but on the other hand, the Gemini protocol is media-type-agnostic. It's the community that has to decide which content types are appropriate, and while Gemtext has many great qualities, it's also a bit of straightjacket.
