I happen to run my own gopher servers. I like it because the protocol is very easy to hack into doing
what you want it to do.

The idea behind Gemini is that is is a protocol which is designed to be hard to extend to pack ugly

what I have heard about are the existence of usable proof of concepts. (Sorry,  paulie420)
