ATOM/RSS Feeds

Gemmit is used to seek out great ATOM/RSS Feeds, once you find a feed you need a way to subscribe and read it.

Generators

Note that all feeds submitted to Gemini must include a rel="payment" link. The generators listed will need to be modified in order to include the link within the author tag. I welcome any developers to modify an existing solution or to create a new feed generator. At this point in time it should manually be added after generation: <atom:link rel="payment" type="application/monero-paymentrequest" href="monero:donate.getmonero.org"/>

As long as the atom feed is formatted correctly, Gemini will accept feeds valiable via http:// or gemini://.

It is not required, but it is recommended for your feed entries to be gemini links. Remaining within the gemini browser makes it for a faster and better overall user experience.

• GMIToAtomFeed (Perl) - CGI script to generate an Atom feed for your Gemini log by parsing your gemlog index summary
• Gemfeed (Python) - tool for generating Atom feeds for directories of text/gemini files
• Flounder (Go) - A small site builder for the Gemini protocol, atom feeds are generated for you by the site.
• html2gmi (Go) - Could be used to go from an existing html blog to gmi, then an atom feed could be generated after that
• md2gmi (Python) - Markdown to gmi

Readers

Note that no readers currently support rel="payment" links included within feeds. Until there is client support it is recommended to display the uri the feed's content

CLI

• Amfora (Go) - gemini cli browser that includes features to subscribe to feeds

Mobile

• Lagrange - gemini mobile browser that includes features to subscribe to gemini feeds (atom/rss unsupported at this time)

Browser

• Lagrange (C) - gemini gui browser that includes features to subscribe to gemini feeds (atom/rss unsupported at this time)

Any other Feed reader would be supported, but you will have to use a Gemini to http proxy such as https://proxy.vulpes.one/ or use http feeds

Cryptocurrencies

Readers can pay the authors/curators of feeds by paying them with cryptocurrencies. Monero is supported at this time, any other public blockchains can easily be supported.

QR Codes

Gemmit is not responsible for accepting payments or for even display addresses for authors.

At this time there are no open source feed readers that support rel="payment" urls, so it is important that the author display their address within their feed / gemini logs.

QR codes should utilize uri formatting: monero:46BeWrHpwXmHDpDEUmZBWZfoQpdc6HaERCNmx1pEYL2rAcuwufPN9rXHHtyUA4QVy66qeFQkn6sfK8aHYjA3jk3o1Bv16em?tx_amount=239.39014&tx_description=donation

QR codes are great way to display an address

• ASCII QR Code Generator - Website to generate ASCII based QR codes that will display within Gemini Clients
• ASCII QR Code Generator (Go) - Generate ASCII QR codes locally

Monero

Monero is private digital cash. It is a great way to tip your favorite creator. Each tip is considered a vote on Gemmit.

Gemmit requires feeds to contain a Monero address and a Monero view key. The view key only reveals incoming transactions, outgoing transactions are kept private. Incoming transactions need to be revealed in order to rank feeds on the site.

Mining

• XMRig - Monero doesn't have to be purchased, it is easy to mine with any desktop computer.

Wallets

• MyMonero - The MyMonero lightwallet is the quickest way to generate a wallet to start earning on Gemmit. Web, Desktop, and Mobile clients exist.
• Official - The official Monero Wallet includes GUI and CLI applications

Other

Gemmits design was sensitive to that fact that everyone has their preferred currency. Tips could be denominated in BCH or USDC, it just takes someone to build it.

Security

Gemmit accepts any atom feed that is formatted correctly with a rel="payment" link and does not try to solve the identity problem.

Due to this it is easy to claim another persons' work as your own. Therefore as a security / identity measure it is important that the feeds that you publish to Gemmit reference a domain that is know to be owned by you.

Instances

• Gemmit Mooo - gemini://gemmit.mooo.com

Feeds can be automated via scripting
