I figure since people are posting things making many times the $500/mo threshold, I should post something making many times less. :)
It's actually pretty cool to just wait a few months and come back to a stash of money. Bought a Quest 2 the other day and didn't give it much thought, partly because of little eggs like this.
The effort to grow it is pretty high relative to the returns, but it's also a lot more "sticky." Normal profit streams dry up if you ignore them, whereas I've had my band of faithful patrons for a long time now. People just like supporting those doing work that resonates with them.
I just visited your website, and had fun in the "small internet" sense. Thanks :)
I was very surprised your pages had a .gmi extension but were actually normal html. Then I figured your "memex" engine probably automatically translates gemini content to html and doesn't bother changing the extension (which in retrospect is more of a feature than a bug). Very nice.
I noticed your search engine is not available on gemini. Any plans for that? The spirit of the search engine is a perfect fit for the gemini ecosystem!
Yeah, the memex straddles both protocols, and the urls are the same save for the protocol. It's essentially a single user wiki based on git and gemtext.
The search engine is available on Gemini, just not at that address. Try gemini://marginalia.nu/search
I think I used to have it on the front page, must have fallen off. That, or I removed it because it would confuse HTTP visitors.
I'm planning a bit of a navigation overhaul soon. Right now it's very hard to find all the various projects I'm running anywhere other than at https://www.marginalia.nu/
