Re: "What could a protocol-native cult hit look like?"
Perspective of someone new to the space (most of which has already been said), 1. exclusive content, bring people back to the joy of the written word. 2. clients for phones (saying this as someone who doesn't have a browser on their phone, but its how most people use the internet and there is one ios app which is pretty rough)

Writing on my very old phone with Lagrange.
Anything written on Gemini is easily proxied to the web or any other protocol.

If you aren't using Lagrange for iOS you're doing it wrong.
Having to compile from source isnt very available, though i will do it, the majority wont. Proxy is similar, random reader on the street will be put off. It needs to be a few clicks to be mainstream. And you then can have a higher reader to writter ratio.
edit. ok figured out its on testflight and have it working on tablet, it is delightful but even that was a few more clicks than your avg bystander would go through.

What could a protocol-native cult hit look like? — Is it likely that Gemini will soon see a cult hit that leverages the protocol's strengths while embracing its limitations? What do you think that such a project could look like?
