Support KaiOS Devices #294

Closed arky closed 4 years ago

arky commented 4 years ago

KaiOS is increasingly available in developing countries. These $100 devices are robust and reliable. It could be possible to generate a package (zip) for KaiOS with minimal changes?

KaiOS is variant of original Firefox OS

It would be possible but not that easy. It looks like KaiOS runs a web view, and we could generate most of the UI with https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web directly from the existing code. The challenge would be getting mapeo-core running on KaiOS, which might be possible if it supports service workers, but we have not tried running mapeo-core in a service worker / browser environment yet.

I think it would very difficult at the current generation of KaiOS devices. Perhaps things might change in future. I am going to close this bug for now.
