Capsule Housekeeping

🏷 Gemini

A quick note about some improvements to the capsule, specifically regarding the version accessible from the web:

The CSS stylesheet of the generated HTML pages was updated to match modern Lagrange more closely. Roboto is used as the font and I tuned some of the whitespaces.

There is a Lagrange-style banner that is displayed on the left or at the top of the page, depending on page width. The banner is clickable and it links back to the capsule root.

Gemlog topic tags are inline links to the corresponding topic index pages. For example, see the "Gemini" tag above in the HTML version.

At the bottom of the page there is a Gemini link to the original page. It was bothering me a little that Mastodon posts needed both HTTPS and Gemini links in them; with this, toots only need the HTTPS link and one can find the Gemini page via the web browser, if necessary.

While the gemlog improvements are nice when sharing posts on the web/Mastodon, these changes also enhance the Lagrange home page that is perhaps the most prominent part of the capsule on the web:
