<div dir="ltr"><div>Is there a reason, if a rewrite is in the works, not to collaborate along with another effort that is cross-platform capable? There are several good toolkits already out there that can produce very serviceable mobile apps. Ezra is built, I believe, on Apache's Cordova and already works very well across a variety of screen sizes. I've used it on desktop and on my phone. And it even adapts well between my phone in narrow mode and in foldable mode (I have a Pixel 9 Pro Fold), properly using the extra screen real estate that it gains in open mode.</div><div><br></div><div>Thus, an iOS build of it could probably be produced as well as an iPadOS version that adapts well. I don't think a version is currently being built for iOS but I think that's just a limitation of the developer not using or having Mac devices.</div><div><br></div><div>--Greg<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 13, 2025 at 8:57 PM Kahunapule Michael Johnson <<a href="mailto:kahunapule@ebible.org">kahunapule@ebible.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I discussed this with a volunteer developer, today.
