Crazy idea that I can’t believe I’m considering: Building a #gemini front end — well, not a front end so much as the “static” views of profiles and public posts – for @gotosocial

(I really need to finish some existing side projects before starting new ones.)

(Admittedly, a full gemini-based #GoToSocial front-end that enables posting and stuff would be cool too. Though it looks like Bubble may be a better fit for that sort of thing: gemini://geminispace.org/u/skyjake/1 )

Interoperability

Realized that my tinkering with #GoToSocial, #Takahe, #CalcKey and #Snac2, continuing to use #Pixelfed, #Lemmy and #Bookwyrm, and looking for compatibility problems are part of the same impulse that had me trying out every web browser I could find in the early 2000s and deliberately using Firefox and Opera on Linux as my daily drivers instead of IE on Windows.

It’s a drop in the ocean, but it’s my push for interoperability over #monoculture.
