These technologies could be used to create a valuable network of low-distraction reference resources. They might dodge the Eternal September problem simply due to the the high barrier to entry and win mindshare among sophisticated users by delivering real value.

This would require a community focus on tooling and content.

First, common tools must support Gopher/Gemini output:

* Pandoc * Template engines like Jinja and Mustache * Static site generators like Hugo, Gatsby & Jekyll * Webservers like Apache and Caddy

Then those tools can be used to mirror content like:

* Wikipedia * ReadTheDocs * Docsets (eg for Dash) * HackerNews, Lobste.rs, Reddit? * RFC archives * Github/Gitlab repo READMEs

Suddenly you could spend your whole day in pure-text mode and never open a browser that does enough twitter to kill your flow.
