@jsreed5 Oh I see that's what your point was, but I guess I got triggered by the mere MUSING of extensions to Gemini/gemtext, lol.

It just irks me - at one time I got by with a 100MB/month data plan with OperaMini - now these webpages that I have to switch over to Fennec for, for what value added? Menus?? That couldn't have been HTML? And now 100MB eaten up like that.grrr..

Experiments with client-side scripting — I don't have time for an in-depth post about this, but a few hot takes: I agree with @clseibold that this is not really in line with the Gemini specification. In practice, there is little value to be gained. Client-side environments are too varied (from GUI to terminal, desktop to mobile); there is no one scripting language that people can rely on, like there is...
