Creating a Blog in Gemini://

Summary

A practical guide to setting up a Gemini‑based blog (gemlog), covering platform choices, folder layout, naming conventions, optional features like favicons, security.txt, and interactive primitives using TLS client certificates.

  • Gemini uses plain‑text Gemtext files; a simple folder with `index.gmi` and dated posts is enough to start a gemlog.
  • Several hosted services (SmolPub, Tildeverse, Gemcities, etc.) let you create a capsule without self‑hosting.
  • Common conventions: `YYYY‑MM‑DD‑slug.gmi` filenames, reverse‑chronological index page, optional Atom feed, first line as title.
  • Interactivity is achieved via Gemini’s status codes (10/11 prompts) and TLS client certificates for persistent state.

Gemini offers a minimal, privacy‑focused publishing platform that sidesteps HTML/CSS/JS complexity, making it attractive for writers and low‑spec hardware while still supporting basic social features.

  4. Article: Your Next DSL Author Is a Language Model

    Typed Domain Grounding (TDG) embeds a DSL inside a mainstream language the LLM already knows (e.g., Kotlin) and uses the host compiler as an oracle. The author describes five building blocks—embedding, choosing a host language with high training‑data frequency, compiler‑driven type safety, a generate‑compile‑repair loop, and an on‑demand teaching tool—and shows measured results from kUML, a Kotli…
