"Gemini Project" refers to a new network protocol and document format created by open source enthusiasts - it has nothing to do with Google.

I found this article from 2020 (shortly after the launch of the Gemini Project) interesting.

For more technical information and updated resources, see https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi .

I feel like Gemini is a good idea but it should be open to simple link-only style media injection.

I think it's 100% valid to look at embedded media with some side eye, but I think the utility for non-tech users is basically eliminated by not having simple embedded pictures or media.

A protocol that enforced no runtime scripting, but stills allow some media embed would be awesome.

Eh idk I could do without the pictures. I like the text-only limitation.
