What is the point of a competing standard to html/https? It works pretty well? And CSS and JS are a big part of modern websites (sometimes a bit too big of course, but still).
Https is lightweight too, if you just don't add tons of CSS and JS dependencies?
Yeah. I don’t know Gemini in detail so maybe this is just me talking out my ass, but it seems like you could just make a minimalist web page and get the best of both worlds.
That said I honestly do kinda like the idea of a whole little community that is only minimal. Like the protocol is clearly totally unnecessary from a technical perspective… but maybe the thing it enables socially from being structured that way is the valuable part.
