What's up with Gemini development?

10 months ago by squirrel to c/smolweb

I've been testing Gemini in Lagrange browser for a couple of days now. I like the concept and philosophy behind it. Simple, small sites, mostly text based.

But, I'm wondering why most of the browsers for Android are unmaintained and outdated. This protocol is perfect for mobile. No overloaded pages, small file sizes etc.

It seems that development of a lot of Gemini software discontinued a couple of years ago. What happened?

Not sure, but I think almost everyone just switched to Lagrange for a graphical browser. And within the scope of a "read-only document distribution protocol", it's more-or-less finished.

I regularly post to my technical blog, and read the Antenna aggregator (although personally I prefer elpher for a client).

I like Lagrange so far. Didn't know there was an Android version, but it's running pretty good. What's your blogs gemini URL?

A bit late, but it's gemini://republic.circumlunar.space/users/dbane/gemlog/ I'd recommend starting with Antenna instead though.

Community for the appreciation and sharing of links, resources, and culture of: the smol web / small web / (w) / the indie web / or even the non-www internet (gemini, gopher, etc).

Back of a napkin definition, subject to change: if it's internet accessible and is maintained by a person, especially for non-commercial aims, then I would consider it smol. There are, however, much stricter definitions.
