#!/linuxSucks/Gemini Capsule and HTML Website are both the same now
May 09, 2021I’ve reading a few capsules in the Gemini protocol for a while and I found some interesting capsules. At the same time those capsules have a html website version. These guys did the same version of their capsules to look almost the same in the html version.
I like that idea, have two sites in different protocols and have the same look and feeling when I reading or pocking around in this capsules/websites.
So, I’ve done the same with my dummy websites to look the same that my dummy capsule.
There different ways to convert your Gemini to html or html to Gemini
For gmi to html I found gmi2html check the project in notabug
For html to gmi I found html2gmi check the project in github
And md to gmi check this project in github
There are more projects out there, I tested these three projects and they do the work. But I did my dummy websites in hugo and decided to make a template that almost match the look that i have in my capsule, the result was a very basic and simple theme with a bit of css, you can see the result in the picture above.
Like this post, I wrote it in gmi markup then in my vim config i have a command to copy and change the extension to my hugo directory, I use the same text structure in both files the only problem that I have is I have to change the links manually, they a very different but that isn’t a big deal for me
