Web refers to Gemini here, it being a command-line client for the Gemini web.
These line-based browsers used to be more common, there were a few ones for the www but also ‘ftp’ has such a mode. As does my little ‘nostt’ Teletext reader.

- sjmulder 3y agoOops, edited! Thanks.
- hollerith 3y agoI've only ever heard it called "Gemini", not "Gemini web". "Gemini web" is a bad name because Gemini's not being part of the web was the main motive in Gemini's creation. "Geminisphere" or "Geminiverse" would be fine with me as a name for the totality of Gemini servers considered collectively.
- gkbrk 3y agoGemini being part of the web is pretty baked-in. You can link to http:// http:// pages from gemini, and gemini:// pages from HTTP. And all these links participate in the hyperlinked "Web". It even supports mime types, you can serve text/gemini from an HTTP server, or a text/html file from a Gemini server.
- ir3k 3y agoThat's true and many Gemini clients supports multiple protocols. But in case of this "gmi100" only gemini:// protocol is supported.
