nex is Gopher without the pointless complexity and the horrible gophermaps. But it's a little too 90s for my taste. ยท 4 days ago

I think the appeal of nex is that you can very explicitly browse it straight from the command line, with relatively easy to understand commands: No client required. It's not fancy, and not trying to be. ยท 5 days ago

@joshstonks I think the allure is that you can serve simple text in a stupid easy manner without the need of an HTTP server.

not that an HTTP server is terrible overhead in 2026, but still :D ยท 6 days ago

nex: displays text and adds links to folder view. It is a specification like BBS before the Internet. I think it's interesting. ยท 1 week ago

I 100% do not get the benefit of Nex, it doesn't do anything new or unique. ยท 1 week ago
