Re: "movies game: try to sort movies by their release year […"
@lamb-duh - Thanks for the reply! I can get to the landing page, where it offers me the choice between the 1000-movies set, or the disney/pixar movies set.
Whichever one of those two I select, it brings up a popup (amfora-style) asking whether I'd like to follow a redirect.
The redirect links look something like this: gemini://jeffrey.cam/movies-game/cartoons/23, 43
Every time I try to follow the redirect link, it pops up another request for a redirect, but each itme with different numbers. The loop continues until I tell it not to follow the redirect. No new page is loaded in the process of doing this.
Thanks for the followup, and for making something to contribute to geminispace. :)

Sidequest: if the lists loaded could be any arbitrary set of strings and dates, this could wind up being a neat tool for learning/familiarizing with history. Like the board/card game Chronology. We could learn about the history of internet protocols! Was TLS developed before or after ICQ? Is the first IRC server older than the first MUD? etc etc haha. If we had a standard format for dates/strings we could submit our own datasets.

what version of amfora are you using, what operating system, where did you download it from? I downloaded amfora_1.11.0_linux_64-bit from the github repo. When I click the link, I see the popup you're talking about, but when I select yes the next page loads. you're saying that after you press yes, it immediately asks you again, but with new numbers in the URL?
oh actually I think I see what's happening. i see there have been some requests to the server where the commas in the URL are URL-encoded. I'm not doing proper URL decoding right now. I will get that fixed soon!

@Half_Elf_Monk it should be working for you now! I did think about whether I want to expand the scope. I don't think I want to be responsible for hosting for others, but I will be releasing the source when the server is released, as a demonstration.
@stack wren has been a delight to program in. if you're ever looking for a language to embed in another project you should consider it! for me, it feels like ruby, but much much smaller.

hmm, getting an "incomplete header" error in Lagrange now when I click on the "1001 movies" link. It was working a week or so ago - and was really fun :)

@smallpatatas it should be working again now!
