Are there any plans on the roadmap to publish a mobile app?

Will definitely consider that. I'm not sure how much of the app components would be reusable in mobile, outside of the editor itself though even if they could be easily shared I'd imagine the navigation would need to work quite differently :)

We'd love to of course, but It's pretty far down the roadmap – perhaps this is something that we could invest in once the hosted version of the project starts paying it's way 😄

The threshold could be minimized by switching to React Native and React Native Web and using React primitives and stop targeting everything towards the DOM. Styled Components already has React Native support.

In fact I think that it will be exactly the editor that will be the hardest part to port over, if you don't wan't use an hybrid solution (and slower) like cordova. The slate project has a discussion about this and this is not a solved problem: https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/issues/1374

Any updated thoughts on this @tommoor?
