That's the beauty of it — it's not "one size fits all", that is why I think it became (on its scale) so succeccful! I like mostly text content, so for me it's perfect, but I do realize that there are others who like other types of content: there are photos, there are videos, and Gemini simply won't cut it.
There are attempts to extend it, like Molerat — something like Gemini with minimal styling, but you're never sure what would stick.
Then there is "smol web"…
@santiago
I don't hate all web, I like CSS for example — when it's not automatically generated and isn't a result of years of hacking, therefore still human-readable. I like how with nice fonts, minimal CSS and a few color emojis thrown in here and there you can make very simple pages, only a couple of kilobytes big, look sleek — or at least less ugly 🤭
And this works even on my old Lumia — phone that is a decade old and in browser that hasn't been updated in years.
@santiago
You're right though: we have to draw a line where it ceases being the means of presenting content and becomes an application platform.
I have a few things on this old phone so it's useful again: I can browse Fedi, I can browse Gemini, I have these remotes that I have hacked together to control various devices in my home, but what these do is send simple HTTP requests, with e.g. WebRTC it's possible to do the video conferencing within the browser — this is too much!
