 > A Gemini server
 
-## Features
+gmid is a full-featured Gemini server written with security in mind.  It can serve static files, has an optional FastCGI and proxying support and a rich configuration syntax.
 
-* sandboxed by default on OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux
-* able to reload the configuration on-the-fly without loosing connections
-* punycode and IRI support
-* reverse proxying
-* CGI and FastCGI support
-* virtual hosts and per-location rules
-* low memory footprint
-* event-based asynchronous I/O model
-* rich configuration file
+gmid also bundles a small gemini client called ‘gg’ (gemini get), a small command-line server for quick testing called ‘gemexp’ and a titan implementation.
