After getting my own fair share of nostalgia (anyone remember running dillo on Damn Small Linux? I used to do that because all I had to run Linux in ~2003-2004 was a 486dx) and reading some of the comments, I think that Dillo could be a nice alternative to what Gemini was supposed to be.
If we could agree on some kind of "low-tech web" (a subset of html, a subset of css, a subset of javascript -- or maybe no javascript at all?) then Dillo could be the champion of this.
- anthk 3y agoIf a 486 can do TLS with mbedtls, you might be able to run cgmnlm as the Gemini client, albeit slowly.
- znpy 3y agoI have faster machines nowadays, luckily :)

There is a "movement"[1] called the small web (smolweb?) which basically does what you are describing without being so restrictive as Gemini. AFAIK Dillo should be able to render most of those features properly. [1]: https://smolweb.org/guidelines.html https://smolweb.org/guidelines.html
- znpy 3y agoTbh, i just tried dillo again (it’s in the fedora repositories) but was saddened to find out it doesn’t support frames. I was hoping it could be useful for having a light tool to read the single unix specification. There is a frame-less version, but frames are very handy for navigating those docs.
