Ask HN: Allow Gemini URLs to be sumitted to HN?

2 points_wldu3 comments

When I try to submit a Gemini URL to HN, I get this error: "That's not a valid URL."

Can the HN submission form be modified to allow Gemini URLs? There are Gemini to HTTP proxies for those who do not have Gemini clients installed:

https://portal.mozz.us/

Couldn't you just submit your Gemini URL using the proxy?

  https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/your_gemini_site

Good idea. I did not think of that.

Send an email with the request to hn@ycombinator.com My guess is it will not be allowed until it gets support from most major browsers.
