suggesting browser feature
not even sure this is a good suggestion.
so in gemtext a link should be on a separate line.
i do like it because if i keep git or any rcs history, i can turn it in to rss, and get a change (link addition) in a hierarchical site, and publish it in atom xml.
still, my idea is, what if we start a culture of writing things with footnote references, like [1] and [2], and then below under the text, we put corresponding links.
i guess some even already write like that.
i saw someone writing like that on mastodon years ago.
would it be good if browsers supported this? clicking on [number] would scroll you down to the corresponding link?
that does not require change in gemtext specification or the protocol.
but is adding feature to the browser good? well, perhaps it's up to the browser creators? nobody is obliged to do that.

I like this idea! It keeps the ethos of not interleaving text content with links, but still enables better citations.
I'm working on a new GUI browser right now - I might try adding this soon and see if it works well.

oh, then if it supports x11, i beg you to add this feature to remember which window was on which workspace and restore on start.
