(#6mdqxrq) @prologic@twtxt.net the central format for the whole thing is gempub https://codeberg.org/oppenlab/gempub (comparable to epub, using gemtext instead of html). you only need to be online to download zines, so once your queue is up to date you can disconnect to read or work on your own zine. the zine-centric publishing format is meant to encourage long-form content including art and other more time-consuming works. the server protocol is almost entirely a sketch, there’s just not that much more to say about the actual zine format. in its simplest form, you just zip your gem capsule and its done.
