A twtxt feed with a fancy Gemini frontend.

Stream of Consciousness

Fancy twtxt feed display on Gemini, with an added post-by-Gemini feature.

How to set up

1. Clone this repository to somewhere your gemini server can access it.
2. Run setup.sh. Also, edit DISPLAY_NAME in index.gmi to be your handle instead of mine.
3. Set up your client to use a client certificate, and access certinfo.gmi. Copy the given hash into .accepted_hashes and refresh the page. The last line should now say Certificate is in list.
4. Go to index.gmi. There should be a link at the top saying You can post to this stream of consciousness here. (Don't worry; this only appears as a convenience feature, since you're using a client certificate that the Stream of Consciousness knows it can take a post from.)
5. Follow the link, input your text, and it should spit you back out to index.gmi with your new post included.

If all of this worked, congratulations! You've now got a working stream of consciousness. New certs can be added to .accepted_hashes in the same way as the first cert was.
