Halfway to Mars
This is a single-page website to try to get you to visit Halfway to Mars, my Gemini capsule. There are two main ways to do this:
Use the Smolnet Portal
The easiest way to visit a Gemini capsule is to go to the
Smolnet Portal on mozz.us.
From there, you can paste
gemini://
Even if you’re like me and would rather just click on a direct link, you may still want to visit the Smolnet Portal homepage; it has links to capsules that will help you find other interesting capsules. That said, Halfway to Mars has its own page of links to things.
Get a real Gemini client and use it
The Smolnet Portal is pretty good, but in many ways a dedicated
Gemini client can be even better. I use and recommend
Lagrange on macOS
and GNU/+Linux. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good personal
recommendations for Windows, iOS, or Android.
At any rate, using Lagrange instead of someone else’s portal gets you:
-
integrated Atom feed checking
(so you can have a computer check to see if your favorite capsules got updates instead of you checking yourself) - a browser that will show you the current page’s table of contents
-
certificate management
(so you can generate certificates and sign into capsules with them) -
easier keyboard navigation
(hold down Alt (Option) and then press a number to visit a link) -
the ability to pick your own fonts
(Gemini pages don’t specify fonts; many clients will let you pick the ones you want to use)
