The spec of Gemini state that a Gemini web client should be writable as a weekend project for a experienced dev.
- The_Colonel 5y agoHaving this as a priority nicely demonstrates how dev-centric and user-ignorant this project is.
- Alekhine 5y agoIs that so wrong? Must everything we create be for the masses to consume?
- The_Colonel 5y agoIt's not wrong, it just demonstrates how super niche it is.
- s5806533 5y agoThe distinction between devs and users is less sharp when everything is as simple as the Gemini ecosystem. And that is precisely what they want: technology that is resilient and does not (and will never) depend on a caste of specialists and large corporations such as Google, like the web does.
- gkbrk 5y agoVery impressive that people can write TLS clients in a weekend, on top of building Gemini clients and Gemtext parsers.
- dopidopHN 5y agoI have sincerely not idea. I skipped over any https talks because it was not fun to look at and assumed folks would have a dependency. There is a list of client/server in a bunch of mainstream languages, did those people had to implement TLS? That sounds like work.
