Unfortunately the author seems to have deleted their repo already.<br>
(I've CC'd them just in case they still have the code handy and are<br>
interested in sharing if someone's interested in using it.)<br>

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.<br>
