back when i first joined mastodon, one of the many surprising things i learned was that gopher (and gemini!) had made a return to the public sphere after decades of obscurity.
i grew up with gopher and archie and veronica and many other www-alt protocols before getting hooked on the world wide web. they taught me how to hunt for things, in a time when web search didn't exist yet.
i've spent every day of the past week adding a new feature to kiki that i'm incredibly proud of, after hearing from several folks - namely @tomjennings and @scott, who (like me) are hungry for an information-dense and cruft-free internet
this works by turning your kiki pages into gopherspace pages through some formatting magic and textmunging. so now, you can host your kiki instance on both the www and in gopherspace, simultaneously.
it will be released in an upcoming version of kiki, available soon here: https://tomo-dashi.itch.io/kiki
