Gemini is an alternative to gopher and the web, taking the best of both and putting it into one protocol.

Using acme is fun. And as much as I like using the mouse, I couldn't stand the extra dependencies some of the graphical clients out there for gemini. So I wrote my own for acme.

This just uses standard POSIX tools and programs that were installed by plan9port, so that makes the latter the only requirement.

Just run sudo make. I will possibly use mk in the future but it doesn't seem to be needed.

Finally, add the following to $HOME/lib/plumbing:

# gemini links without a path or port
type is text
data matches 'gemini://([a-zA-Z0-9_\-.]+[a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+)/?'
plumb to web
plumb start gacme $0'/' $1 '/'

# gemini links without a path but with a port
type is text
data matches 'gemini://([a-zA-Z0-9_\-.]+[a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+):([0-9]+)/?'
plumb to web
plumb start gacme $0'/' $1 '/' $2

# gemini links with a path but no port
type is text
data matches 'gemini://([a-zA-Z0-9_\-.]+[a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+)/(.*)'
plumb to web
plumb start gacme $0 $1 $2

# gemini links with a path and a port
type is text
data matches 'gemini://([a-zA-Z0-9_\-.]+[a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+):([0-9]+)/(.*)'
plumb to web
plumb start gacme $0 $1 $3 $2
