 # Astronomical Theater
 A Node.js Gemini server and proxy.
 
-Do not use.
+## Do not use.
+This is known to be buggy.
+I use it because the promise of Gemini is that people are able to write their own software, and that's an ideal that I believe in.
+And I open-source it because I believe code should be free.
+
+### Known bugs
+* It reads the certificates into memory at start up, and never again. This means that if you (like me) use Let's Encrypt and rotate certs, then after three months the server needs to be restarted.
+* It suffers from a Node JS bug which causes it to allocate ~10.8GB of virtual memory (not actual memory so this theoretically doesn't matter).
+* Most importantly, it sometimes drops requests that it's proxying before they've completed. I kind of suspect this is also a Node.js bug, but I don't have a minimum reproduction case.
 
 ### We require SNI!
 The Gemini spec requires clients to implement SNI. This server requires SNI to connect.
