You might be wondering what this is. That's okay.
You know how website addresses start with http:// or https://? Those are network protocols, and they're not the only ones. The gemini network protocol was invented in 2019. It has some serious drawbacks that makes it a bad replacement for HTTP/HTTPS, but that's also its main selling point. Its real aim is a simplified experience, both as a developer, producer and consumer of content.
But a web browser doesn't understand the gemini network protocol, nor the gemtext markup language. It speaks HTTP/HTTPS and HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Therefore, I've made Wobbly.
Wobbly is a gemini browser that runs inside your web browser. It's very basic:
It has a help button.
Back, Up (in the directory tree), Forward.
A URL address bar, and a button to Go!
Try opening this web page in full screen mode in your web browser! It'll probably look more familiar then.
Wanna see what's up in geminispace?
