  There's more than one web out there. Gopher and HTTP used to be about as popular. Now we have other protocols like Spartan[0]. 0. https://gemini.yesterweb.org/proxy/spartan.mozz.us/ https://gemini.yesterweb.org/proxy/spartan.mozz.us/

    I am absolutely in love with how spartan solved the input problem (prompt line), I wish gemini would also adopt the same function/tag

      I avoided direct mention of Gemini for a reason: I am not a fan. Got nothing against the idea. It is about the implementation. I care about retro hardware and minimizing requirements; they don't. Spartan is cool.

        This has always been my real issue with Gemini. Gopher is useful on all computers I own and actually makes retro computers more useful with the services available on it. Gemini’s TLS requirement prevents access by a of machines that could benefit from it.
