Summary: The above video takes stock of some work and observations from today; we're investing more and more of our collective efforts in Geminispace, which rapidly expands despite the media's apathy (refusal to even mention it)

TODAY we spent some time coding, investing more love and care in the Gemini capsule, which has grown in terms of size and traffic over the past year (this month it turns 1). There's a lot of good "content" -- for lack of a better term -- in Geminispace. That includes some capsules that have pictures and videos in them (the videos get served over gemini://). There's lots of innovation going on inside Geminispace (or Gemini space) in spite of the intentional limitations of Gemini Protocol and GemText.

We constantly try to play around (tinker, hack) with the Gemini stuff, knowing it's a lot more powerful than people care to realise, sometimes due to the crude appearance in the command line. We hope to change this perception. We also hope to share a lot of Gemini-related code, based on our own work.

Some days ago we crossed a little milestone in Git as well, after we had restarted the Git repository (there was a past incarnation of it, but we reset everything and started again from scratch, in effect throwing out old change logs/history). As of this moment, we have over 500 commits in total, as presented by:

git rev-list HEAD --count

Or

git rev-list --all --count

One day in the future we may enable direct access to Git, rather than the Gemini-based interface currently offered. A migration to another operating system might be required first.

The video above demonstrates the new structure of the stats page. The code which generates it is available in Git. ⬆
