Yeah, I\u2019ve been working on Gopher stuff over the holidays.

a Gopher server wrapper around Oddmuse wiki (and this site is running it, see gopher://alexschroeder.ch:7070)
a proposal of a new item type to write to a Gopher server with examples based on netcat, i.e. nc
improvements to the Emacs Gopher client with support for HTML and the new item type (see this branch on GitHub)

Isn't that amazing.

My question is, who the hell is using gopher?

Apparently anything that isn't about a programming language should be on /lounge/.

Gopher is the official protocol of the alt-right.

Maybe with a Gopher to HTTP proxy. Kinda of like the reverse of what Floodgap does.

I wish Gopher had become the "Web" instead of HTTP. It would force everyone to use sensible minimalist design and not the bloated shit we have now.

They would replace it with apps.

Maybe, but to do that there would have to have been successful lobbying to change the protocol, and the IETF seems to be less compromised than the W3C.
