iOS port #43

Would an iOS port work for those who don’t have a pc?

No--it would require re-coding the frontend user interface yet again, this time in Swift (a language which I have no experience in), figuring out iOS video decoding/encoding APIs, and navigating my way around the App Store review process every time I want to release a new version (which has to be done manually, as opposed to the automatic build pipeline I have now).

The existing video editing ecosystem on mobile platforms is leagues behind what PCs and macOS devices provide, so I think most people who want to use ntsc-rs would not be using an iOS device in the first place.
