Why Gemini is interesting

I’m excited by Gemini because the ecosystem is young and there are so many new things to create. The constraints are really appealing to me:

using client side certificates as sessions that a user ops-in is really cool. I’d like to see Gemini browsers do a better job of allowing you to generate client-side certificates on the fly

lack of caching is actually a feature! I update my index.gmi and it updates as soon as I go back to my Gemini Browser

1024 bytes of input is enough to do really cool things. You could encode state into a Gemini URL. Text adventure games could easily store inventory and even the initial seed value for a random number generator

It looks like content is the biggest challenge Gemini spaces facing right now. But feels like there’s some really cool ways to bootstrap content: project Gutenberg texts could be converted into GPUB files.

lots of fun tools to make (easier converters to gemtext, wget but for making capsule archives, etc)

these tools can be small enough and simple enough to use ab experiment to learn new languages
