I now have a copy of the Bible hosted my Gemini capsule in the gempub format. I used a tool I wrote called osis2gempub to facilitate this.

You can see it now here:
gemini://josias.dev/books/bibles/web.gpub

For more books hosted on my capsule and the conversion script, see the books page:
gemini://josias.dev/books/

Now that my conversion script works fairly well, I may also start hosting many versions of the Bible there. Maybe Heb12's whole Bible collection (better yet, we should set up a Gemini capsule for #Heb12 and put all of them there).

For those interested in playing Christian music, someone made a website with chords for all kinds of songs. It's a public database that anyone can add to.

It's available via HTTP and #Gemini.

https://songs.zachdecook.com

The interface is incredibly simple, and has no advertising or excessive JavaScript (which is a relief since I've used UltimateGuitar for a while).

Unfortunately, I don't see the source code anywhere here: https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer

My newest gemlog post: "Commitment"

gemini://josias.dev/2021/06/24/commitment.gmi

It's a short reflection on #Gemini, Mercury, #Heb12, and commitment. It doesn't have much of a point, but not every post has to be a masterpiece. :-)

I can tend towards perfectionism, but I know I'll never get anything done if I expect everything I do to be perfect.

I'd probably like to write another draft or three of this gemlog post, but I wanted to publish it today, so here it is.

(For the Web folks: https://gmi.josias.dev/2021/06/24/commitment.gmi)

Are there many online #Gemini libraries which contain public-domain books in the gempub format?

I'm going to compile a few gempub books and put them on my capsule. First: the Bible, then some other books that interest me.

You can now access my #Gemini capsule on the Web thanks to kineto.

I'm going to start posting sci-fi on #Gemini. It just seems appropriate.
