After hacking a bit of PHP (and gemini-php), finally my self-hosted capsule is available here:
gemini://eapl.mx

The only content is the twtxt.txt (mainly for compatibility with hipster protocols :)
eapl.mx/twtxt.txt

@prologic@twtxt.net well, as they say

Is heavier than gopher
Is lighter than the web
Will not replace either

I think it has many different things to enounce, some ideological, some practical. Some that I like and some others I don’t share that much.
Some people will like the limitations, some others the encryption by default, and I guess some more will like the nostalgic factor of the Web of the 90s.

As a hacker, I like that is a ‘modernized Gopher’ with some inspiration taken from the Web, and it’s something you can actually program with a few libraries in your favourite language, so it’s a toy protocol which someone else is actually going to use. Trying to develop something on HTTP 2 or 3 nowadays seems impossible.

Having connections encrypted by default and using login by client certificates is appealing to my crypto side, although really optional (in fact there is an alternative without encryption that I can’t recall the name by now)

What I love about all that is Gemtext, in my opinion, a streamlined Markdown.
Full spec
Quick reference

I use it for my blog, renders well enough to HTML, it’s extremely easy to remember, and it’s easy to parse. Again, minimalism in the markup language, in the protocol, and finally in the communication.

And I knew of twtxt on Gemini (it’s used there as a simplified feed format), so I’m here thanks to that hipster protocol 😁
