So I think Gemini protocol and gopher are neat and all, but just a little lacking in features (gem not having images or message boards for example). Is there anything else thats slightly more like the web in ~04 ish? Muddying the waters with another protocol is probably a bad idea but something like this could be cool…

    What exactly are you looking for in a protocol? Better discovery? Distribution? Semantics? Security? HTTP hasn’t changed a whole lot since 2004 (HTTP 1.1 even got an update in 2022 since it lives side by side with HTTP/2 and the new HTTP/3), and HTTP+TLS is really pretty good at transferring static and semi-static content.
