PROJECT GEMINI

This site uses a new Internet protocol called Gemini which can be seen as a middle ground between the old gopher protocol of the early 1990s and the modern web. Gemini attempts to address the weaknesses of gopher while avoiding the pitfalls of the web.

I have built this site (or "capsule") using Gemini in an effort to promote the project in the hope that more people will turn away from the dumpster fire that is the modern web. Gemini is plain text written in a markdown-like syntax. Links can only be written and displayed one per line (similar to gopher). There are no images, no video and no advertisements!

Gemini should be of particular interest to people who are:

If you want to help promote a simpler and more efficient alternative to the web, please consider making your next "web" site a Gemini capsule instead.
