## Why Gemini is interesting

I’m excited by Gemini because the ecosystem is young and there are so many new things to create. The constraints are really appealing to me:

* using client side certificates as sessions that a user ops-in is really cool. I’d like to see Gemini browsers do a better job of allowing you to generate client-side certificates on the fly
* lack of caching is actually a feature! I update my index.gmi and it updates as soon as I go back to my Gemini Browser
* 1024 bytes of input is enough to do really cool things. You could encode state into a Gemini URL. Text adventure games could easily store inventory and even the initial seed value for a random number generator
* It looks like content is the biggest challenge Gemini spaces facing right now. But feels like there’s some really cool ways to bootstrap content: project Gutenberg texts could be converted into GPUB files.
* lots of fun tools to make (easier converters to gemtext, wget but for making capsule archives, etc)
* these tools can be small enough and simple enough to use ab experiment to learn new languages
