I actually never used Gopher before. I found about it at random: I saw someone asking for a lightweight browser. There is no lightweight browser - that supports all the JS, WebAssembly, Video Codecs... - and still's lightweight. I started my research to find an video about "How bloated the internet is" and I found about Gemini, and finally Gopher...
In the end of the day, I never answered that question 🫠

I love that gopher is still alive. I wonder if there are any active Kermit site left.
how?

my how wasn't actually intented to be serious. it was just meant as a joke.
Does this still work now that the API is shut off?
Yes. I don't know exactly how, but I guess he's basically web scrapping.
