Build mobile app #950

Open hahn-kev opened 4 months ago

hahn-kev commented 4 months ago

we would like FW Lite to be a mobile app too. Not sure how much work that will be but we should at least explore the option

after doing a bit of research we can't use the existing model on mobile (launching a web server), so we need to refactor the transport between the web view and the backend. I would probably go for the blazor hybrid setup. This would work for Windows also, however not Mac os as there's an outstanding bug with the webview meaning you can't type anything. So the Blazor Hybrid aproach would work for mobile/tablet and windows, but not Mac and Linux. I would like to support those also which we could do fairly easily with our current web server approach, our current implementation of the platform.bible extension also depends on this.
