Midnight Pub's Manual

Welcome to the Midnight, kind
stranger! This little establishment
The Midnight is an internet message-board where you can share your thoughts and connect with others. It's a slow place where reading is as important as writing. It's built to be small and favors quality of interaction over quantity.
The pub is reachable from the Web and Gemini. Gemini is a small-internet protocol. You can think of it as an alternate Web where only markdown-like (gemtext) documents are available, no html, css nor javascript. Because of its simplicity, Gemini offers a perfect medium for the Midnight, and uses it as its default content-type. The Web version converts from gemtext to html to display its content.

Midnight lets you host your personal homepage, available at username.midnight.pub. Here's an example:
You can create any kind of page. To make one accessible from gemini, make sure to use the .gmi extension. A gemini page is also viewable from the web.
Theme (web)
If you are visiting from the web, you might be thinking, "hey, this pub looks... basic?". And you'd be right! From the outside, the Midnight is just simple HTML. However, anyone can give it the style they want. Just head over to your account page, and click the "Theme" link. Feel free to inject any CSS you'd like in there.
Post using your terminal
It's possible to write posts and replies from your terminal using the following bash script:
