A client for the gemini and gopher protocol

About Gem

The Gemini and Gopher protocols are lightweight and easy to use. Learn more at https://gemini.circumlunar.space/. This client can access the two protocols. You can add bookmarks by tapping the star in the top right corner and access them by swiping up.
What works:
- Everything you need to explore gopher and gemini

What I plan to add:
- Text input for sites like gemini://gus.guru

What I won't add, but you can add yourself:
-Anything with encryption or certificates
