[Old] Karl Bartel ☛ Adding Gemini Support With Just a Few Lines of Code
I don't want to write each block post twice, so I'd like to convert the existing posts (written in Markdown) to Gemtext automatically. Fortunately, there's md2gemini, which can handle the conversion process. Since Gemtext does not support inline links, the links in my posts have to be moved out of the paragraphs into separate lines. md2gemini offers multiple ways to that. Putting the links at the end of each paragraph and numbering the references inside the paragraph (like this [1]) seemed like the most readable way to me, so I chose that one.

[Old] John Goerzen ☛ Adventures Hosting My Site On Gemini | www.complete.org
Well, I finally decided: it is time to host this site in Gemini. As noted in How this site is built, it is written in org-mode using org-roam, is part of the Small Web, and thus is a perfect fit….. right?
I should begin with: I find Gemini to be really appealing. I can actually surf Geminispace as I did Gopherspace and the web decades ago. I don’t really surf the web anymore; I search the web for something specific, but the organic discovery of interesting corners is just lacking these days. So I’ve been enjoying Gemini. As one of the people that started preserving Gopher about 20 years ago, it fits right in with my interests.
And thus began quite the adventure.

[Old] Karl Bartel ☛ `make` as a Static Site Generator
Static site generators are in fashion for good reasons. The resulting pages are easy to host, fast and extremely low on maintenance while being sufficient for many use cases. As I learned when setting up my blog, writing a simple script myself is faster and more satisfying than learning one of the other site builders and customizing it to my needs. This time, I only need a plain site without automatically updated timestamps or an RSS-feed, so I can go even simpler than by blog script.
