Hi,  
It could be a great idea to add the [gemini protocol](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) to Writefreely, just as the team added [Gopher support](https://phabricator.write.as/T559) to the 0.13 version.

Yes, I think that’d make a great addition! We don’t really have the bandwidth to work on this, but if the community can take up this work and submit a pull request, we’ll be happy to test, review, and merge it.

Maybe this thread would be a good place to coordinate that.

Oooh that’d be an awesome addition @barbayellow!

If it helps anyone with transitioning their WriteFreely/Write.as posts into Gemini, there’s a great @natedickson post about parsing Markdown into Gemini’s Gemtext format:
