hello, gemini!

porting this site to gemini | back

this site now has a corresponding gemini capsule. if you have never heard of gemini before, here is some recommended reading

at present it's more than a little bare-bones. you can find marginally more content at the http version

the plan is to convert this whole site to be gemini-first to some degree whenever i get the time. currently it's build using Zola, which is a pretty good static generator for web sites, but of course it has no support for gemini whatsoever. right now i'm working around that by simply putting this gmi file in the 'static/' folder where i keep the content

i'm thinking my best bet is probably to just write my own tool which takes a bunch of gemtext files, applies some templating to them, and somewhere in that process makes html versions as well, probably by way of markdown (which it is trivial to convert gemtext into). could be a really fun project when i have the time and energy to spare. now the question is what to write it in. (i am genuinely open to suggestions)
