Hi, I’ve been thinking about making Ezra Project available for Tablets, initially Android, later potentially also iOS. I realize that some people are simply not using a traditional desktop any longer. And with tablets you can even handle more involved tasks that make use of the bigger screen in a similar way as it is on desktops.
My plan would be to keep the exact same user interface that is used for the Desktop version and make that available for Tablets based on minimal code changes. Note that smaller devices (Smartphones) would specifically be excluded from this plan, because the existing user interface certainly wouldn’t work on such small screens. However, on bigger screens it makes sense to re-use the existing UI. Technology wise I’m considering Node.js for Mobile Apps, which is an enabler for this porting effort (in combination with Cordova): https://code.janeasystems.com/nodejs-mobile Node.js for Mobile Apps allows to use a similar architecture as on the Desktop with Electron – nodejs running in a separate process/thread while communicating with the frontend via a message-based IPC interface. Before moving forward with this idea I wanted to get some feedback. Best regards, Tobias
