Insanity or Creating a Gemini How-to with 5353 Files
Granted, a lot of them are generated. But the scripts took time as well. Anyway, I just wanted to create an Everything Gemini How-To, with which I could play a little in different clients, GUI and TUI.
I’ve incorporated my Gemini Helpers section into this how-to and added a couple of sections so that beginners have a place to educate themselves about Gemini, Gemtext, Gemsub, and all the other nice things the Gemini protocol has to offer.
I love the section “How to Navigate”, which was the kindling that sparked the fire. It currently contains only one item, “TUI 10 Links”, in which I explore how to create a site with a navigation having ten links maximum on a page, to be able to use the 1 through 0 numeric keys to navigate immediately without any meta keys. And for that I needed more than 25 years of almost daily posts, which resulted in 5216 pages taking up 21.7 MiB of the 22.4 MiB how-to total.
Let’s just hope crawlers will actually follow robots.txt and don’t crawl those disallowed sections.
And boy do I love the how-to URL scheme. Here are all the sections:
Insanity? Maybe.
