I think it's interesting, the markup language is easier than Gopher, but
I'm hard-pressed to figure out why I wouldn't just use HTML and skip on
the javascript or any of the cruft that made web pages huge. *maybe*
some basic CSS to provide some consistency in appearance. I already know
HTML, it renders in any browser, and you can still keep it smol, run it
in a tiny web server, and keep with the spirit of things.

Not having it indexed by web crawlers is one benefit of Gemini, you'd
want to have a pretty restrictive robots.txt, for what it's worth, on
your smol html site.
