I like gemini, and have a "capsule" hosted over on sdf. Gemtext files are great for writing technical documentation.
I have a capsule hosted privately on my desktop, for speedier access. The SDF site often runs slowly.
Setting up the whole TLS security stuff is a chore, mind and will likely take awhile if/when I upgrade my system.
One thing I do have is a proxy server that serves gemtext files as gophermaps. It's a pretty simple perl script, and I've ironed out most of the bugs. That took a little while, because there were a lot of corner cases to get right.
There's an alternative protocol called Spartan, which is very very similar to Gemini, but without TLS. I wrote a little Spartan server in Go, so when I want to get an internal site up quickly, I can just "go run sss.go" and bam, there we are. I think there's also another protocol, called Mercury, that is Gemini without the TLS. I haven't heard much about it, though.
