The /now page

I recently discovered this interesting convention for URLs, the /now
page, where you state what you are doing/expecting/dreaming of, now.

https://nownownow.com/

Using the Lupa database, I notice some geminauts already do it:

gemini://ftrv.se/now
gemini://oppen.digital/now/
gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/now/

That is interesting. I recently incorporated twtxt.txt into my capsule, 
and it strikes me as a similar concept. (That is, microblogging.)

> The /now page

Behold, the /uses page.

Usually contains your current desktop set-up, EDC, OS, WM/DE, programs, 
daily drivers, keyvoard, etc. Whatever you "use". Musician? Your 
instruments. Artist? Your paints. You get the idea.

I have only seen one /uses page in the gemini wild. There should be more.

Hi Byron,

a /uses page seems more my kind of thing rather than a /now. I wonder what 
other categories exist...

It could be made more fun if a /uses page pointed to a Git repo, so 
people/stalkers can track an evolution.

Hopefully such pages would be less controvertial than favicon pages!

New Gemini Text syntax plugin for Vim, "~torresjrjr/gemini.vim".

Git repo URL: https://git.sr.ht/~torresjrjr/gemini.vim/
Project page: https://sr.ht/~torresjrjr/gemini.vim/

Aims to be correct. Since there's been a bit of inconsistency with
versioning, public documentation, specifications, other plugins, etc, I
wrote this plugin. It's existed for some time, but I never mentioned it.

Corrections are welcome. I Hope it helps.

I looked at the /uses page and it was like an amazon ads :-(
Make me thinks of *the Joneses* movie...

This looks great, thanks :D

A /now page seems to me a lot like a .plan file on finger.

Indeed, that's what it reminded me of. I think that finger-over-tls would 
be interesting to see on servers that include Gemini capsules.

I'm pretty sure some clients already support finger links and will
happily fetch them already.
