+## Urbit Browser Manager
+
+### Browser extension
+
+`extension` has the code for the browser extension.
+
+
+### Gall app
+
+`gall-app` contains the code for the gall app. The initial skeleton was created using `create-landscape-app`,
+with some slight modifications. `npm run build`/`npm run serve` and the `.urbitrc` file work as described
+in the documentation for `create-landscape-app`.
