+---
+A [Gemini](//gemini.circumlunar.space/) internet protocol client integration for
+[KDE](https://kde.org).
+
+It allows fetching and viewing (using _kio-gemini_ and _geminipart_) Gemini
+documents mainly in [Konqueror](https://apps.kde.org/konqueror/).
+Using _kio-gemini_ all KDE applications using
+[KIO](https://community.kde.org/KIO) are able to access files
+using the Gemini Protocol (e.g.: fetch atom feeds with Akregator).
+Applications using
+[KParts](https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kparts/html/index.html) can display
+rendered gemini text files.
+
+## Install
+
+The two necessary plugins are available as source code:
+
+* <https://gitlab.com/tobiasrautenkranz/geminipart>
+* <https://gitlab.com/tobiasrautenkranz/kio-gemini>
+
+Given the necessary KDE & Qt development files, you should be able to install
+them with the usual cmake and make commands:
+
+```
+cmake .; make; sudo make install
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Now you can use Konqueror to browse the Gemini Space.
