Hi.
Thank you for the great product.
Given the fact Electron browser has no support for Android - is there any chance to use this app in browser only mode?

I planned it once, but to be honest this would take a considerable amount of time to pull off without losing features.

Problems:

  • Webviews do not support TCP sockets (websocket-only support sucks)
    -> backend component needs to run in a different context
  • SSL / TLS features need to be evaluated & certificate selection needs to be rewritten
  • Several components need a rewrite to be responsive enough to fit on a small screen.
  • Chromium / Browser-specific features need a polyfill.
  • Settings storage must be refactored.

Some of the stuff regarding browser incompatibility is tracked here:
