====== Gemini ======

**Gemini** is an alternate, in development, hypertext protocol for Internet-based documents. A bit nicer, and more secure, than [[Gopher]], but much less featured than [[HTML]].

The whole thing is really nice and clean, and easy to understand. A 'gemini file' is a text file that permits a small amount of markup, for links, lists, and pre-formatted text. Gemini documents can link to [[markdown]] files, [[html]], images, and other media.

===== Access =====

==== Clients ====

I've been using [[Bombadillo]], which also works with [[Gopher]].

==== Hosts ====

==== Security =====
A key part of Gemini, and an important difference with [[Gopher]] is the mandatory use of security certificates. Think how on the web HTTPS is now almost ubiquitous. Gemini uses the same kinds of certificates.

  * [[tildegit>solderpunk/gemcert]] - ease certificate generation, for clients and servers.
