Almost nothing has Gemini support though…

True! Most browsers don’t have native gemini protocol support. However a web proxy like the ones I shared allow you to get gemini support no matter the web browser. Gemtext is a simplified version of markdown which means its not too hard to convert from gemtext to html/webpage. So, by scraping information from bloated websites, formatting it into the simple gemtext format markdown, then mirroring it back as a simple web/html page, it works together nicely to re-render bloated sites on simple devices using gemini as a formatting medium technology. You don’t really need to understand gemini protocol to use newswaffle+portal.mozz.us in your regular web browser
