thought I would need some type of automation when posting on
opher. So far it turns out that opening an editor and just type
he post, add the link to the index page is just too simple to beat.
actually check in the files into git to have it transferable
o/from the server more easily but that's it.
his makes me think about the need for all the blogging frameworks
n the WWW. I guess the forced text-only style with almost and next
o none markup does lower the bar to just create content. All the
ice things like tag clouds and CSS and fonts and whatnow are
eally just adding noise. Noise in producing content, noise in
ransferring content and noise in consuming content. With gopher
eople still create formatting that's pleasing within the limit of
he medium and a client may still render the text in a beautiful
ont but that's not for me to decide.
opher hands the responsibility of formatting back to the client,
he author just makes a suggestion. And since there is no standard
o rely on people don't rely on layout and fancy formatting.
t feels like the 80ies all over again.
ut I like it that way.
