Gemini in the wild, AV-98

(originally posted in Gopherspace on 2019-06-22)

To my great shock - but, I'll admit, my delight, too - I woke up this morning to an email informing me that the world's first Gemini server was online! Sean over at conman.org has setup gemini://gemini.conman.org using a server he wrote in Lua (you can get the code from there).

In order to decently test things out, I have done a hasty conversion of VF-1 from gopher to Gemini, resulting in a new client with exactly the same user interface, which I've dubbed AV-98. You can get it at:

I suppose this is actually a thing, now!
