Basically just a pitch for Gemini. The problem with Gemini is that we could do all that now with the web. They're just stripping features to enforce what they think the Web should be.
I kind of get it. I like the idea of a simplified protocol. No JS engines to be exploited. I like building small static sites and wish more people would.
But also, there's a million reasons we moved away from plain rudimentary HTML and terminal browsers. Not least of which is interactivity and writability. You couldn't create a Lemmy frontend, forum, or any kind of database UI using this protocol.
Shy of reading documentation like man pages, I don't really see the value.
