Gemini web client in 100 lines of C
Gemini protocol documentation claims that it is possible to write basic web client in 100 lines of code proving protocol simplicity. Easy in modern scripting language but can it be done in ANSI C? Let the source code decide. Someone suggested to share this silly project of mine with HN community so here it is. Enjoy
In plain words
A minimal Gemini protocol client written in ANSI C that demonstrates the protocol's simplicity by implementing basic web browsing functionality in approximately 100 lines of code. The project challenges the common assumption that such a client requires a full-featured scripting language, showing instead that the task is achievable with C's lower-level approach. Intended for developers interested in the Gemini protocol and language implementation challenges.

I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
