I personally find that using Gemini to write blog posts, fitting my thoughts into its extremely restricted format, helps me to be a better writer. For instance, I can't use inline links, so I need to make sure links stand on their own, that I've provided enough context, and that links are fully descriptive.

That's not to say it's superior or will help anyone else, just a fun observation about brain hacks.

[edit: That's Gemini the smolweb hyptertext protocol... sorry for the ambiguity!]

@xgranadeCassandra Granade 🏳️‍⚧️ I've been considering taking my old scattered short fiction and publishing it on Gemini, so I can post it without it being accessed by Gemini
