[:@SuperTXT] has parts in common with Gemini, such as:

=> SuperTXT

Line orientation

Smol

Links outside of paragraphs

Similar syntax

With some differences:

Commands in place of URL’s

Visible headers

Exit codes instead of status codes

SSH is the preferred network protocol

Additionally:

Built-in semantics and semantic quoting (like rdf)

Tables via csv/tsv pre-formatted blocks

Embedded file syntax

Anchors and fragments (id, or line number)

There is a [:@markup spec] and [:@spec list]

spec[1] => spec list[2]

1: http://supertxt.net/specs/supertxt.html

2: http://supertxt.net/specs/index.html

Also, a cool new unix shell called browsing shell (brsh), and enhanced cat command (cats).

I try to fetch sources with

git clone nobody@supertxt.net:git/cats

command but it is protected by password.
