@dilettante I remember a time where search engines where good and provided you with answers to the most obscure problems which you'd never expect on ShitOverflow. I want that back. @nixCraft

@funbaker @dilettante @nixCraft At this point we should just try anew, throw away the whole browser-based web shit and fork Gopher.

@Natanox HTTP is not that bad, we just need to throw away Javascript.

But ofc every idea is welcome.

@Natanox @funbaker @dilettante @nixCraft Is this the right time for me to be That Person and mention how cool and fun Gemini protocol is?

Andreas, DJ3EI, he/him

I know only very little about Gemini.

But it wasn't my impression thus far that Gemini solves the problem to find stuff on certain subject matters one happens to be interested in. I.e., the search engine problem.

Is that wrong? Do I need to learn something?

@dj3ei There are gemini search engines out there now, which definitely helps (one that I particularly like is the Kennedy search engine on gemini://gemi.dev) and gemini constellations which are like web rings, and some capsules that have recommended capsules based on subject a la web directory.

It's definitely not on parity with all the things on the web, but it's very fun imo and I love how it's small, light and aggressively indie

@Natanox @funbaker @dilettante @nixCraft It's funny I was too thinking about gopher the other day πŸ˜†
