We were inspired by the gemini protocol, but would like to further extend the gemini community:
- Serve users who lack a gemini browser or TLS
- Serve content creators who do not run a gemini server themselves, but would have access to HTTP-based shared web hosting
- No-cost shared web hosting is easy to come by

- We would like to counter the pitfalls of WAP whose weakness was being a similar walled garden.
- Allow for a full featured client or server to be developed on a weekend.
- Should be compatible with the user base of established software (i.e., web servers & web browsers).
- Collaborate in improving software designed for gemini and gopher.
- You should already have access if you are using an up to date browser version.
- No proxy is needed - just use your existing, maintained HTTP based web browser to access content!
- If you would like to add support in your existing gopher or gemini browser, feel free to use one of our libraries that will convert GemiWeb content to a form of your choice.
- We publish and explain our algorithms if you would like to reimplement it yourself.
- Happy to help
- Improvements welcome
