@lanodan Well, yes HTTP isn't that good of a protocol, and I haven't investigated Gemini either. But the point I make, is that gemtext is horribly terrible compared to stuff we had 30 years ago, and the "gemini community" doesn't want to change that. I have seen at least several discussions in gemini browsers that went like this:
"Maybe we should add markdown support to our browser""No, this is gemini, we use gemtext here and anything else is supplemental data"
