Correct, it’s a web app. It’s run on a server that you will need connection back to - it’s not an Android or iOS app. Again, this is still very early in development. It’s likely that we will look into offline functionality in the future.

In the future, we may potentially look into adding companion apps that can sync back to the server, but that is a far ways off from now.

Are you planning on documenting your API? contributing a mobile client would become a lot easier

tbh after trying SwiftUI the last few weeks I am tempted to give it a shot myself but being really unfamiliar with this type of web development trying to figure out the API routes seems a bit daunting

Hah, thanks for bringing that up. I’ve been wanting to document the API, but have left it on the back burner so-to-speak since I figured nobody would reach it.

If you’re serious about giving the mobile client a shot, feel free to shoot me an email hwgilbert16@gmail.com and I might shift some priority over to the API.

I mean, you can always wrap your mobile website in a native-app skin (with Ionic or whatever the modern version of Phonegap is)
