i don't mind. i'm definitely the kind of weirdo who enjoys very simple formats so i can make joke programs like gem2html.sed just because it amuses me.

@am@decept.org @Moon@shitposter.club @thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club at some point, i just decided that i was going to use gemini for everything and allow its limits to partly define the aesthetic and structure of my sites. there may be other ways to approach it, but this is the one that worked for me.

@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club @Moon@shitposter.club i transform the gemtext directly to html using a different sed script. the one i posted was to automate some cross posting that i do occasionally from my gem capsule into the fediverse.

its a fair critique tho

@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club @Moon@shitposter.club

i've found it helpful to cross host, using a gemini to web proxy that i wrote, so i don't neglect my capsule. its a lot of buy-in, but i'm also slightly fanatical about gemini. something about it really speaks to me. having more options for gemini+titan wiki engines could potentially help, i do wish i could just create and edit pages on my phone directly in lagrange.

maybe i'll figure that one out for the next version of my memex.

@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club @Moon@shitposter.club

adoption is somewhat irrelevant to the goals of gemini. it exists, some people use it. that's good enough.

@Moon@shitposter.club @thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club but gemtext is great! if you really are married to markdown for some reason, just apply some sed
#!/usr/local/plan9/bin/sed -f ## escape html collisions s/&/\&amp;/g s/</\&lt;/g s/>/\&gt;/g s/\"/\&#34;/g s/\'/\&#39;/g ## reformat link types s,^=&gt;[ ]*?([^ ]+)\.(gif|jpe?g|png|svg|bmp)$,,g s,^=&gt;[ ]*?([^ ]+?)\.(gif|jpe?g|png|svg|bmp)[ ]+(.+)$,,g s,^=&gt;[ ]*?([^ ]+)$,* [\1](\1),g s,^=&gt;[ ]*?([^ ]+?)[ ]+(.+)$,* [\2](\1),g s,^&gt;[ ]?(.+)$,> \1,g /^```/,/^```$/{ s,&amp;,\&,g s,&lt;,<,g s,&gt;,>,g }
some clients do support markdown, but gemtext is just way easier to parse and lex.

i wonder what happened to that hater who said i'd never release any version of my operating system in 30 years

@Moon@shitposter.club i'm out here living my dreams :cherry_grin:
