Got curious enough to wanting to give it a go, so on the quickstart page it says:

> Lynx Explorer is a sandbox for trying out Lynx quickly.

And then it asks me to use either the iOS Simulator or the Android Simulator, which based on experience, neither are made for anything resembling "quickly".

Anyone know if there are any "pure-web" instructions around? Skimmed around the docs, website and repository but didn't find anything that looked like it was made for just web setup.

It's not adb / avd or some device emulator. It's an app that you install on your device, and then it can load your app from your development device using a link. I was able to run it in 5 minutes without having android studio or any other android development kits on my laptop.

Thats neat. It makes me think of expo [0] that does it in the same way, pretty useful to try stuff quickly, but forces to go though their servers.
