Great! I'll test this out on Flounder soon

My server doesn't seem to capture the remote IP address anymore with
go-gemini. I did a grep in the project for RemoteAddr and, while it is
in the request struct, it doesn't seem to be used anywhere else. Is this
a bug? Thanks!

All the best,

Alex

Hi Rodrigo!

I re-read the documentation I wrote for custom domains, and realized I
neglected an important step! You need to go to
https://flounder.online/me and set your custom domain. Thanks for
making me aware of this issue.

All the best,
Alex

P.S. I have forwarded this email to the Flounder mailing list, which is
a good place to reach out to if you have questions.

This has been added to Flounder!

An addendum --

Using this library specifically would require me adding CGI to Flounder.
This would allow users to run arbitrary scripts in their capsule. This
is a cool idea, and I want to see if I can come up with a way to support
it, but it is an immense security challenge -- I would have to make sure
that users are able to run scripts without consuming all the server
resources, or accessing the Flounder server code itself. I haven't
looked too much into how I could do this yet, if it is at all possible.

All the best,
Alex

Hi Maxime! (Ignore my last email)

Thanks for reaching out. In order to add a comment section, I
would have to program it in to my software. it's not something you'd be
able to do on flounder at the moment.

I've thought about this, but my biggest concern is spam and abuse. I
would either have to limit it to Flounder users (which would make it not
really open) or open it to everyone, in which case there is little I can
do for spam/abuse protection. I'll consider the feature, but this is a
tough problem to solve I think.

Also, I have a couple tips about your capsule:

Much appreciated. Let me know if you have any other questions or
feedback
