Working on a gemini server

[Kevin Sangeelee]

Your nimble file requires a more recent build of Nim (1.3.x) than the
latest binaries release (1.2.6), yet it seems to build fine on 1.2.6.
Was this just an oversight, or will I run into problems?

Interesting regardless, my first Nim compile - thanks!
