What is gopherbridge?

Gopherbridge is a gopher server.

Gopher is an old protocol. that provides documents and files to users. It allows downloading data and linking to other documents. Gopher was published around the same time as the World Wide Web.

It works somewhat similar, but is a lot simpler. It has none of the feats of the modern web, like playing videos or using JavaScript. It's generally text based.

It's shortcomings are also the biggest feature: Since gopher doesn't transfer much data, it is fast. Even on small bandwidth dial-up lines, it operates at sufficient speed.

Gopherbridge allows the user to brigde a website into a gopher document, thus making use of the fast download-speeds it allows, and allow formatting documents as text.

This does for your website, what gopherpedia is for the Wikipedia.
