I've been tossing around the very early idea of seeing what we can do to elevate alcoves of the web such as Gemini[1] through Kagi. I am slightly conscious of that some people might not like us operating in that space, it's been on my TODO to poll people about it and take a quick pulse. I love the tech and think we could give it meaningful exposure.
Is this along the lines of what you have in mind - any other active efforts you're aware of that you think we should look into?
That's cool that you're looking into it. Are you saying that in any "official" manner as a Kagi employee? Or something more personal?
I've been meaning to write an RFC or open-letter of sorts to collect ideas for what a neo or parallel web could look like, but I'm just a nobody so shrug. It'll probably be something very fragmented and very very niche but nowadays I think that can be seen as a good thing.
I'm working on making an internal proposal to integrate with Gemini on several fronts, yes. Still hatching the idea, and much else to do - maybe this summer it will come to fruition if it pans out :)
Well, from one dreamer to another, thank you for taking on that effort and I wish you luck. I will keep my eye out for it.

How would that work? Like Kagi caches the gemini content and delivers it as web content? I suppose that might annoy the kind of person who runs a Gemini server.
I don't think we would go to that end, not as a first step anyways; I'm thinking of some simpler ones. Sparing details as I'm just brainstorming for now and getting to know their communities.
But, there are already plenty of services that proxy Gemini pages so that you can read them in conventional browsers, as well as search engines for Gemini content.
