Like Links[1] then? Really. I want Epiphany and Firefox to allow me turn off JavaScript like I can allow/disallow {Audio, Video, Webcam, Location, Notifications...}. The single wrong decision was following Google into that JS-Show. JS has it rationals, I'm using it as programmer sometimes. But JS was consider harmful for the reasons! Google intention was using JS for it's so called web-application/single-page-applica…
What's the problem that this fixes?

How can the search boxes disappear? Aren’t they just plain HTML?
They don't render input elements (at least that is my understanding of the code): https://github.com/MasterQ32/kristall/blob/6b39f24484bb0796f... The GitHub notes that they only support a reduced set of HTML, but not which set it is. My guess is they do not support any interactivity related elements.
A browser^, at a minimum, should support HTML + CSS (+1 if it supports the latest specification). Edit : ^A modern browser
Like Lynx then?
Can Lynx render Gemini markup?
HN is the only place on the Internet where I hear about Gemini. Excluding Gemini itself. I'm all in for a simpler Internet, but on HTTP(S), with images and other media if needed
Gemini is fully encrypted
It simply doesn't rely on the same chain the CIA and other agencies own
inline images are left to the client implementation.
Lagrange supports them, for example.

Fully agree. I am also wondering why simplicity needs its own protocol here. Striving for simplicity is more a philosophical than a technical task. Edit: The creation of new protocols and technical solutions alone increases cognitive complexity. From this point of view, it is even counterproductive if existing solutions can enable the same.
I have nitpicks and criticisms about Gemini, and it's not a protocol that I use very often (if at all), but I also don't see the harm in it. It seems to have a pretty strong grasp of what its goals are and (minor criticisms aside) it does a decent job of accomplishing those goals. Nowadays I tend to compare Gemini more to things like Pico-8 or Markdown rather than think of it as a web competitor -- and as a result I'…
Radio amateurs can communicate through the internet with their phones and it would be faster, simpler and easier. But radio gives them both the nostalgia feeling and a niche community to belong.
Gemini is kinda like that.
