@sara i had the idea to build a local-only #uxn gemini browser to start with. i think that would be pretty achievable, and could eventually use some kind of networking extension to uxn

@d6 @sara I have a few ideas on this topic, I think beyond a "web" browser, it might be fun to have a file format designed to embed images, fonts and sounds in a way that is not too difficult to write a reader for on small systems like Uxn.

It would make it possible for anyone to write their own viewer, on various systems. A server and browser for this file-format would be the next step.

@d6 @sara I'd love to see an image or sound format for these files designed with the philosophy of something like gopher and gemini.

A lower bar than png and jpg could inspire people to write their own parsers in minimal systems.

@neauoire @d6 @sara for an image format i think that qoi is a very strong candidate. it doesn't create prohibitively large files like farbfeld does, but the reference implementation in C is just 300 sloc
