Android server #103

This app is awesome! Thanks.

A suggestion that is probably out of scope: It would be great to be able to run a local Syncplay server from android.

Use case: On a plane with no internet access and no PC. It would be great to set up an ad hoc network and sync movie watching between 2 mobile devices.

Greetings @twtu,

I've been planning to build the server-side logic ever since finishing the client, as that was the original intention of the Syncplay developers—to offer both a client and server for a complete package. However, the existing servers are based in France if I remember correctly, so users in distant locations (like New Zealand) experience significant lag. It's definitely on the agenda

Yeah, that'd be interesting, I'm also considering on making a syncplay compatible server, but with a language with is more performant while being way easier to spin up than the current one. (Then it can just be an executable for OS)

I'm going to write it using Bun for any PC and port it to mobile using react native till Bun adds native Android support which is on the roadmap.
