Plus glad to see it call "Gemini" instead of "Gemini Protocol", too bad google stole the name after Gemini was a thing. And unlike gopher, Gemini renders fine on Cell Phones. As I mentioned before in these threads, I find Gemini far easier to maintain then anything associated with html. It is very simple. I had moved my WEB space to Gemini on sdf* a while ago and my old WEB space points to my Gemini Site. FWIW, google forced Gemini to change its URLs, it is now: https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/gemtext-specification.gmi https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/gemtext-specification.gmi and the FAQ, the article has the old URL https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi * sdf: https://wiki.sdf.org/doku.php?id=gemini_site_setup_and_hosting_features https://wiki.sdf.org/doku.php?id=gemini_site_setup_and_hosti... List of clients are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)

  From the Wiki page the formatting capabilities to me look too limiting. How about tables? Are nested (numbered/bulleted) lists a thing?

Are nested (numbered/bulleted) lists a thing? No and no. If you need those, there is the WEB. Gemini is not a html replacement but a simple protocol.

You’re so glad that, rather than discuss it, you redirect the conversation back to Google’s Gemini?

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
