Hi John! this is a good suggestion. I’ve been on hold with adding flounder features lately bc I’ve been busy but I’ll add it to my list! Glad you’re enjoying Flounder

I don't really use any plugins for it, using things like / and f and ) are good
enough for me. There is the vim-pencil plugin and guides like
http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2013/06/17/using-vim-for-writing-prose/
which might be useful to you

Hi Daniel — sometimes I edit in the web browser, sometimes on my desktop. For my desktop, I use vim, which you can set up to make it easier to edit prose or long lines. Let me know if you have any other q’s!

Hi Michael, I am loosely aware of the Titan protocol. Thanks for your
email. I have two comments:

First, I currently spend very little time working on Flounder, do to
other obligations, so I'm not focused on new features

Second, while the Titan protocol is interesting, my approach with
flounder is to be very conservative about the features or extensions I
implement. There are many competing "Gemini but POST" protocols, and I
am waiting for things to settle a bit, where the community picks one

Your praise is much appreciated :) -- I was very isolated last year
during COVID lockdown, and channeling my energy into flounder and the
Gemini space was really helpful for me. I'm glad to be a part of this

Hi Andrew!

Gempub is very interesting, however, I've not been working much on
Flounder lately, so supporting a large new feature like this is not on

It's all good -- I have a couple of ideas for cleaning up the front page
(basically what you describe in the last line), sadly I haven't had much
time to work on Flounder these days but I have an open ticket for it

Hi Nick! I’m not sure I follow your question. All content on Flounder is available via both http and gemini

I’ll send a new patch that is all lowercase when I have a chance!
