OP here, Something inbetween gopher and HTTP in terms of complexity, | |
that is | |

ANSI, Syncterm to BBSes like absinthebbs.net port 1940. RIP script | |
and Skypix were also used years ago, but boards that use those are | |
few and far in-between. | |

I guess HTTP with a basic website design from the early '90s (think | |
of a plain website with no CSS/script with maybe pictured and an | |
ordered menu list) is what you're looking for. | |

Sounds like the description of the gemini protocol | |
__[2020-04-06(Mon)16:23:16 #773]______________________________________ | |
I was thinking of something that looks like this | |
__[2020-04-06(Mon)16:27:52 #774]______________________________________ | |
#772: Interesting. I've been checking out gemini, but on the surface | |
it looks like plain gopher. Does it support inline hypermedia, CSS, | |
Javascript and other Web-like elements? | |
__[2020-04-06(Mon)16:28:30 #775]______________________________________ | |
Also are gemini pages written in a markup language or more like | |
a gophermap? | |
__[2020-04-08(Wed)10:54:33 #778]______________________________________ | |
Gemini pages are written in a kind of markdown language, thats | |
designed to be parsed by humans and machines with minimal effort | |

Geminimaps are not designed to do any of that, but nothing stops | |
you from serving webpages over gemini | |

@779 or Gopher, for that matter. I've seen at least one phlog that | |
used HTML instead of plain text files. | |
__[2020-04-09(Thu)14:23:19 #781]______________________________________ | |
#774: So how different is gemini from gopher, really? What extra | |
features does it have that gopher doesn't? | |
__[2020-05-22(Fri)06:17:54 #878]______________________________________ | |
Mainly TLS by default, and the server sends a mimetype along | |
with wathever it sends, it also has useful status codes and a ton | |
of clients | |

#878 Are there any graphical examples? Can it show inline images? | |
__[2020-05-24(Sun)18:56:28 #883]______________________________________ | |
What I mean is, are there any graphical clients for gemini. I've | |
been trying to learn Lua to create my own client. | |
__[2020-07-16(Thu)11:13:15 #930]______________________________________ | |
if there's no client in C, then gemini is niggerlicious protocol. | |
