Project Gemini FAQ

But the only thing that a Gemini document can do with those files is link to them. You can't embed images or videos inside a page, sticking them in the background or between bits of text. Nothing ever plays automatically. All you can do is say to your reader, "Hey, here's a link to a picture, or a video, or some music". It's up to them whether they click the link or not - in Geminispace, the reader is always in control, not the author.

Well, not really. A lot of inspiration comes from a thirty year old protocol, it's true, and lots of people enjoy Gemini because they don't enjoy the direction the web has taken in the past ten years or so, but it's not really about trying to turn back the clock.

Reading text with a simple, clear, uncluttered layout without any animation or embedded videos or sidebars full of distracting, unrelated extras. If you use the "Reader Mode" in your web browser a lot and you love it because you think that 99% of the time it makes webpages ten times easier to use by throwing out all the useless clutter and just giving you what you want, you'll probably be excited to hear that everything in Geminispace looks that way all the time by default.

Le choix précédent se justifie. Du blog et du contenu sans distraction. Ce que ça m'inspire c'est effectivement un espace de calme similaire à un liseuse (support idéal donc pour la consultation du geminispace !)

Well, no. Gemini pages can provide visitors with a written prompt and ask them to type in some text to use as input. This is basically there to make search engines possible, because you need to have some way to enter your search terms. Even Gopher had support for search term input, before Google existed!

Curieux de voir comment

Gemini gives more control to the person reading a page than the person writing it. Because by default it only presents users with text, and because authors have no way to control the font or size or colour of that text, Gemini is naturally resistant to advertising and marketing. It's very difficult to "establish a brand identity" or to "grab somebody's attention" in Geminispace

Nickel.
