Curl supports Gopher. Not Gemini though.

Ncat and Netcat (check the existence of '-c' and '-T') can fetch stuff
from Gemini servers:

$ printf 'gemini://geminiprotocol.net/\r\n' \

$ printf 'gemini://geminiprotocol.net/\r\n' \

Wrapping that in some hands full of AWK to find links and iterate over
them should not require deep magic.

Some browsers capable of accessing gemini: can save the fetched files'
and gemini pages' source, maybe they would even be easier to integrate
in own scripts?

TL;DR: There is no showstopper.

gem.awk (a gemini client written with gawk+openssl) works like that

I expanded it with some nice features

another one I'd like it's one to batch-dl a full phlog, easy to do
with basename, mkdir -p and a for loop iterating the array of links.
