@zachdecook @akkartik I use a mouse and it feels pretty great :D
Recently added support for SVG chord symbols on my chordbook gemsite.
As it turns out, many gui #gemini clients (deedum, lagrange, amfora) have atrocious svg support
gemini://songs.zachdecook.com/chord.svg/E7?022130
Probably will look into it for lagrange in the future.
Today, I calculated the meter of each 'letter' of #psalm119 using https://github.com/christian-classics-ethereal-library/hyphenator
The word "blessed" is counted as one syllable, but we can make it split it into two.
Anybody interested in a user-friendly editable #wiki on #gemini?
I've written the first two pages, please see
gemini://wiki.zachdecook.com
Powered by lists.sr.ht and updated every ten minutes by a crude cron job script. (No conflict resolution yet, but all changes are saved in the email list, so nothing is lost).
@sir see ya on :1965
@sir At least to some degree (I think) this is explained here https://www.raptitude.com/2010/07/your-lifestyle-has-already-been-designed/
Related: I don't trick Vim out to be an IDE-alike, and neither should you. I use mostly vanilla Vim:
https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/dotfiles/tree/master/.vimrc
I use a second terminal and shell commands to do various tasks I might ask of an IDE, such as building the software, finding compile errors, bulk find or bulk replace, using tools like grep, sed, awk, make, etc. This approach is very flexible - almost any task can performed and almost any question answered without having to use rails laid down by IDE designers - but also practical, because they can be turned into re-usable scripts.
Good reference if you lack shell proficiency:
@purism I was unable to find the place where you explain how that funding will be used (allocating internal developer time to work on the apps, paying upstream developers…). Can you point me to that page?
The real great thing ThML is the div1 div2 div3 structure.
Converts really nicely into gemtext headings which work well in clients with ToC's.
Things which don't always work nice: block quotes, italics.
And I haven't implemented notes, footnotes, or links yet.

How do people feel about 'programming ligatures'? I have some thoughts.

And when you're writing an article, ALWAYS use relative links when referring to other wiki pages. That way the proxy-er can choose where the user goes.
So I just write a few articles, then set up a priority list of other servers I trust. If I don't like someone's article, then I just copy it and modify.
Users can either edit their hosts file, or change the proxy setting in their gemini client. They set it to the one whose editorial standards they agree with.
If you've ever seen that 'encyclosphere' project and agree that the centralized nature of wikipedia is an issue, but worry about immense cost-overheads with developing a website, consider: We make our own wiki articles on gemini://wiki.your.tld/Article.gmi
Then we each run a server which proxies requests made to gemini://wiki/Article.gmi -- programmed proxy requests to other servers.
Each article should start with its canonical URL, and end with the license of the article.
