What I find interesting is the same argument of simplicity and that an Engineer can implement the protocol in an afternoon are the same talking points for the Gopher protocol. I’m mildly interested in Gopher and curious why Gemini over Gopher?


In the document at https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.gmi Ctrl-F for "shortcomings" and you'll see "2.2 Which shortcomings of Gopher does Gemini overcome?" where they make their case.


Sounds like a pretty good case for enhancing gopher instead of starting over.
