I converted my blog from WordPress to a static site generator using Gemini’s version of Markdown as the base format, and then hosted both HTTP and Gemini versions.
I later took down the Gemini version. The web site remains as static HTML driven by (a variation of) Markdown. No cookies, no JS, limited CSS. Even took out some old YouTube <iframe> tags and converted them to straight links to videos. Doing it this way does everything anyone would want out of Gemini without having to use a specialized client.
We should be promoting some kind of browser extension that flags a site as having no cookies and no JS.
