About Emerald

A Gemini client for Ubuntu Touch, with the ability to have bookmarks.

Gemini is an application-layer internet communication protocol for accessing remote documents, similar to HTTP and Gopher. It comes with a special document format, commonly referred to as "gemtext", which allows linking to other documents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)

Use this app to read Gemtext and Gemlogs!

This is a fork of the Ubuntu Touch program originally called Gem, by Aaron Hafer.
https://github.com/Aarontheissueguy/Gem
I created a pull request and attempted to email the original author, after receiving no response, I forked the project and released it for Ubuntu Touch Focal. I will gladly remove mine if the original Gem project gets updated for Focal.
