Lightweight Internet communications with the simple Gemini Protocol

Some Final Comments

The Gemini protocol doesn't offer the graphic capabilities of an HTML page; however, if you are looking for a quick weekend project, Gemini might be just the answer.

For these projects, I tried to keep things lean with the use of Bash CGI pages, but you could use Python or any other CGI-capable language.

Some good options for horizontal and vertical ASCII bar charts are out there if you are looking to add some charting to your sensor projects.
