Gemini is Solutionism at its Worst

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • amfora

    A fancy terminal browser for the Gemini protocol.

  • I'd start by checking out Antenna:

    https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/warmedal.se/~antenna/

    It's an aggregator of sorts, but with a bit of a twist.

    Clients, for the terminal I recommend Amfora

    https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora

    and Lagrange is a great GUI client

    https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange

    Communication, there's an informal way of addressing other gemlogs using 'RE: '. It's fraught with issues, as I have discussed. There's IRC (#gemini on tilde.chat) and Usenet (comp.infosystems.gemini) now that the mailing list (itself a potent source of drama) has gone to the great bitbucket in the sky.<p><a href="https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux/Re-re-re-considered-harmful.gmi" rel="nofollow">https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gerikson.com/gemlog/gemini-sux...</a>

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • > It's still possible if you use uBlock, or enable JS only when you need it.

    Possible, but painful. Take HN's official search engine, for example: https://hn.algolia.com/

    I open it. "This page will only work with JavaScript enabled" sigh Aaccept JS from hn.algolia.net and the mangled cloudfront domain (and make sure not to accept ravenjs.com). Possibly cdn.jsdelivr.net if I want to spare a click later, because I don't know if it's useful (it's not). Reload. Now the results are blank. Ah, it makes XHRs to telemetry.algolia.net, a mangled algolia.net domain, and three mangled algolianet.com domains. Think for a second. Accept the latter too (actually, either is enough, but I don't know that). Reload. Oh, it works now.

    It's exhausting to do that every time you visit a new website.

  • awesome-gemini

    A collection of awesome things regarding the gemini protocol ecosystem.

  • There is a few gemini links on awsome-genini list.

    I haven't tried them out, but usualy, awsome-* lists are good starting points.

  • beaker

    Discontinued An experimental peer-to-peer Web browser

  • I think if you want to further limit yourself than Gemini yet maintain some of the semblance of the existing modern web, you can go the Beaker Browser [1] route.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
