Gopher has some shortcommings, like a lack of standard support for anything that is not ascii (which
gophermasters have to workaround) and lack of client-to-server encryption.

Maybe that is why they are trying to bring Gemini forth.

I am a fan of Gopherpedia and the Gopher gateway to reddit, so you can use those web serives up to a
point without using their lame web interfaces.
