I didn't want to register for a gemini group just to ask this, but I looked at it from a webdev point of view just long enough to notice there was no evidence of any way to implement a "save comment" or "type in search" feature, basically as if gemini was entirely reduced to mostly static websites with no forms of any kind possible.
Is that an accurate assessment?

You can grab a Gemini client, or use some of the web portals out there that make a server-side Gemini request and render the result to the browser. > or "type in search" feature There is a limited form of input allowed, but this input shows up as a query parameter essentially. This is how you can do search or offer some form of interactivity and how the current Gemini search engines/crawlers work. > basically as if gemini was entirely reduced to mostly static websites with no forms of any kind possible Again Gemini does allow limited forms, but it only accepts a single query parameter as input. You can, of course, parse the parameter however you choose, but the general culture is that there's very little interactivity and most everything is a static page.
