Better web for DOS (or any old micro computers) (?) (Developers)

JFYI (i want just share idea):

https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/

In short words: WWW without styles and scripting on client side (sort of markdown?), but with community (~3.5 geeks) and modern software, need just include dos in this (underground) stream. :-D Here is example browser-screenshot for gemini-page.

PS: I am think about topic for my next dos-project, but, definitely, it will be not networking.

IMHO, TLS (as used by HTTPS) is by far the worst compatibility problem with old machines or small operating systems. Nice idea, anyway.
