Check out the Nex Protocol. It’s designed to be even simpler than Gemini and Gopher. What do you think? Could be great to host a twtxt feed on.
@shreyan@twtxt.net Interesting 🤔
It looks a lot like Gopher I guess?
@prologic@twtxt.net Yup. Was very easy to get Go implementations of both a Client and a Server up and running within 10 minutes.
and I’ll be quoting a friend:
I'm all for more protocols to move away from the web but pls be original and actually useful
@yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja Heh, it looks a little bit like a hackathon project someone might make right after discovering TCP/IP and socket programming
My Go implementation of a server, for the curious: https://github.com/ShreyanJain9/nex-server
Nex is a neat proposal of a hobbyist hypersimple ‘protocol’ by m15o. The community has created Browsers, proxies and content.
I’ve hosted twtxt.txt files on Gemini, but I can’t find an advantage for Nix if we already have HTTP 1.1 more than belonging of that niche community 🤔
