[ANN] gemlikes - A liking and comment system for Gemini

[colecmac at protonmail.com]

Hello Geminauts,

I had this idea pretty soon after finding out about Gemini, and over
the past week or so I've finally managed to implement it.

Like many of us, I've really enjoyed reading and taking in people's
gemlogs on Geminispace. But I often want to reply to what people have
written, to ask a question, let them know I enjoyed it etc. I created
gemlikes to be able to do that.

It consists of three binaries, and works using CGI. This means you don't
have to run another server or anything, it should work with any server
that supports CGI. If it doesn't, please let me know!

There's a demo of the system available on my site[1], and the code is on
Github[2]. Most other questions like how to get it up and running, etc,
should be answered on that README.

2: https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/gemlikes

I'm hoping that this can be "successful" in the Geminispace, and that it
won't just be my gemlog that uses it. If there's a feature that would help
you use it, feel free to let me know!
