Our Best Month in Gemini

Summary: gemini:// has become very important to us and it grows rapidly because people are frustrated with the World Wide Web

THIS video catches up with Gemini, as we've not mentioned it in a while. Our Daily Links are nowadays full of Gemini links (sometimes Gopher as well), at least half a dozen per day. Our Git repository grew a lot lately (we've improved tooling) and the capsule stats show the best overall numbers so far. We expect about 500,00 page requests over gemini:// in March, with almost 100,000 requests through the Gemini proxy/gateway.



Our Gemini capsule is just a little older than a year and it was a worthwhile investment of time and effort. Some time next month we expect the capsule to exceed 40,000 pages in total and we're planning to expand further in that space. It's possible to track new stories in other capsules too, e.g. through this planet.

Errata: the video says this month has 5.5 days left, but it should say 6.5 days left.
