What's Gemini?

Gemini is an internet protocol; similar to Gopher or HTTP, it is lighter than the modern web, but heavier than Gopher.

It doesn't strive to replace any of the two, but instead tries to provide a "stripped down web" or "modernized Gopher". [0]

It also mandates the use of TLS encryption, and uses a markup language known as "Gemtext".

Powered by titan2

titan2 is a minimal Gemini server written in Go. (<160 LOC)

While there are other servers out there, titan2 is a very lightweight server, that's stripped down to the bare minimum. Exactly what we need for our static capsule.

Gemini clients

"The" Gemini site lists a variety of clients. One of the most popular ones is the terminal client Amfora. It is available on many Linux distributions, macOS, as well as Windows.
