Use joule as mobile app on iOS/Android #57

How hard would it be to port this app to use it as an iOS or Android app? Is there a plan to implement this or is this not the intention?

This repo is definitely going to be browser extension only, so I'm going to close this just for house-keeping.

I think a mobile app with this UX makes a lot of sense, but I think it's unlikely I'm going to be the guy to do it. But any of the existing mobile apps could implement WebLN in a browser, similarly to how the Coinbase Wallet (formerly Toshi & Cypher) does it for web3.

I'll never say "no" to a mobile app, but I definitely think this project will have its hands full just getting it right on desktop web, let alone expanding into apps.
