> I guess you could totally do it from mobile. But then you have to fight the app store's distribution/marketing model.
I don't know much about the mobile world, so this may be a stupid question, but could you route around the app store problem by making a progressive web app?
I assume a backend of some sort would be necessary, since JS in the browser is a pretty limited environment, but if Chalkinator Desktop is handling your server setup anyway, it could install a personal backend on it for you, and the PWA could talk to that.
My skillset is native iOS apps so it'd be going against my strengths to make a PWA. Plus i'm skeptical of their usability. Having said all that: I mulled it over overnight, and i could use an extra private S3 bucket as the 'backend' for my app, therefore having both desktop and mobile versions with the same 'drafts' prior to publishing. That could really work I think, however it's more work than i was thinking of doing.
